Jesus blood

Morning. Just got back from walking the eldest dd to school. 

She told me something interesting. When you're dead, and someone pokes you with something sharp, water comes out. Not blood. That's how they know you're dead. If blood comes out it means you're still alive and they have to keep poking you until water comes out.

Her teacher taught her that. This is what they did to Jesus on the cross apparently. They poked him til he was dead. 

(He was only pretending to be dead, it turned out, but that's another story).

Anyway, I'd like to say this. I'm absolutely delighted that the school are teaching some proper biology as a respite to the relentless religion. Credit where it's due.
