when i was about 5 or so, my sister told me that when you get a bloodly nose and you tilt your head back, all the blood will go straight to your head and you would die. well maybe a week later... i busted my nose while playin on the monkey bars, so, i went to the nurse and i said to her "am i going to die because of all the blood is going to go to my brain?" the nurse told me of course not. i didnt belive her.
