And while we're at it, blood does not taste coppery. Trust me on this, I work with copper a lot. I love copper. It's beautiful. I hammer it. I sand it, file it, yecch, the taste of copper, yecch. But it does not taste like blood. Now iron, on the other hand, blood does taste like iron. So I suppose you could say it was sort of irony.
Ummm, yeah, I see the problem there.
And someone would come along and say, no, in that case you'd want ironic, really.
And the taste of ironic blood, well, the mind boggles.
Rusty?
