The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet... (O.M.G.!) ID: 347712 ·

Maybe because there hasn't been a two dollar bill in circulation for years now? There's a Canadian two dollar coin, called a "Toonie", but no bill. Somebody's putting you on, I think. ;) ID: 348043 ·
