At various points in my life hey're are many things that I've thought I've known which turn out to be bollocks.
Some examples
1. The Union Jack is for sea, the Union flag for land. Turns out they are interchangeable and were used so by the admiralty. "Jack" just referred to something that is smaller than usual. Flagstaff came late.
2. Captain pugwash didn't have characters called seamen stains and Rodger the cabin boy.
3. The red in a properly cooked steak (rare/medium rare) isn't blood, it's myglobin

Good examples. Myoglobin and haemoglobin are components of blood so that last one is probably partially true. The rumour that Maryln Manson had removed to perform self pleasuring was widespread but I expect a myth! |

It is there, but generally in very small quantities with most residing inside muscle. Perhaps the cooking process releases a lot more as it does in rhabdomyolysis when people over-exercise and have mud brown urine and then renal failure. |

Huckleberry Finn and Robin Hood were only fictional characters.
