    I like facts of the day. I like word of the day too. I get a word of the day from Merriam-Webster at work every day. I save them all in a folder in my email called "word of the day"

    Today is:

    ebullient \ih-BULL-yunt\ adjective

    1 : boiling, agitated
    *2 : having or showing liveliness and enthusiasm : exuberant

    Example sentence:
    Students found Mr. Brennan's science class to be a challenge, but his ebullient style made his lectures very entertaining.

    Did you know?
    Someone who is ebullient is bubbling over with enthusiasm, so it shouldn't be much of a surprise that the adjective "ebullient" derives from the Latin verb "ebullire," which means "to bubble out." (The stem "bullire" is an ancestor of our word "boil" and derives from "bulla," the Latin word for "bubble.") In its earliest known uses in English in the late 1500s, "ebullient" was used in the sense of "boiling" or "bubbling" that might have described a pot simmering on the stove. Only later did the word's meaning broaden to encompass emotional agitation in addition to the tempestuous roiling of a boiling liquid.

    Did you know that blood is actually blue when it's in your body? It's only red when it hit's oxygen or summit.

    isn't that lobsters when you cook them?
    I thought that blood is always red, because of the haemoglobin which contains the red pigment.

    Why do you think you see blue veins?

    Geez, third grade health class info :p

    Veins - non oxgynated blood, taking it back to the heart
    arteries - oxgynated blood, what goes out of the heart

    Blue veins take the deoxygenated blood back to the lungs - the arteries carry the oxygenated (and therefore red because of the oxyhaemoglobin) away from the heart and around the body.

    isnt it also an artery that takes blood from the heart to the lungs? even though it carries deoxygenated blood

    There is one vein and one artery that do jobs opposite than they are supposed to I think.
    Can't remember what they are called though, I haven't done biology for years. You can probably tell...
