Cows have more than 800 blood types- humans have 8 and cats only 3! Yup! That's me. Whole lotta hair! In 1972, Led Zeppelin canceled a show in Singapore after being prevented from leaving their plane due to their long hair- which was illegal at the time. The scientific name for the fly, Brachyanax Thelestrephones, means little chief nipple twister in Greek!

I hope the PETA people realize that eating them is probably easier than keeping a bovine blood bank to deal with any transfusion needs the cows might have.

I think they meant Latin, for the fly – it certainly isn’t modern, or even classical Greek.

If you take the 4 A/B blood types, and multiply by the two RH blood types, you get 8. But, aren’t there more blood type categories than those 2? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_blood_group_systems
