The sentence in the bracket is actually how I type without using spell check!
Well, it's really nothing to do with dyslexia.
2 hours ago, I was reading on Leonhard Euler, then I read about the 7 bridges, Prussia and From Prussia, I opened up a new tab, looking for an article on blue. Blue. Prussian Blue as I know it is composed of iron oxide. In the same article, I clicked on Indigo, looking for how the plant looks like.
I've been wondering, how Royal Blue got it's name. Is it royal? How does it look? Anything to do with the phrase 'blue blood'. Then I searched for why royal families/aristocrats are associated with blue blood? Even deoxygenated blood aren't that blue. It's purple. Don't believe it? Let me venepuncture you. Joking.
Apparently, they are so fair that their blood vein appeared blue. Well, our looks greenish due to our yellowish skin tone. Hence the surname Huang, Wang and Wong. A slit-eyed like me can't escape the yellowish tinge. (Yes I am part Chink Chonk, Wing Wong)
From my previous reading/general knowledge, those European Royalties, especially the virgin Queen Bessie used mercury to make herself fair. Too bad, Fair and Lovely wasn't in the market then. Another example for mercury poisoning? Johnny Depp. Well, his character the Mad Hatter. As mad as a hatter. Tanning hides with mercury. Getting mad in the process. Those heavy metal. Heavy metals are associated with anaemia. THAT'S NOT WHITE, THAT'S PALE!
From Prussian Blue, I wonder if Prussia is Russia or Germany?
From Prussian Blue, to caesium poisoning, to Goiania Incident.
And I cried, considering how many died young.
Watching several people die and dying slowly, that's the hardest part. It's emotional.
So from Euler's to Seven Bridges to Prussia to Blue to Blue Blood to Caesium to Goiania. There's another tab with article on Funerary Arts.
That's 2 hours.
Well, most of my knowledge are from reading Wikipedia. Whenever my cheeky nephew argue the validity of my information, I would ask him to check it in Wikipedia.
