Message: [QUOTE="cliftonparksufan, post: 2086802, member: 9"] Kind of a strange letter to Bud regarding that bleeding orange means that you are addicted to competitive sports and it means you have O negative blood (this guy says 15% of people have it but others say only 7%) and something to do with UFO's. I don't quite get it, but I do have O negative blood and I know it's rare because I get phone calls from the Red Cross almost daily to donate my blood. Is there a common bond we all have? This is the first that I have heard of this.

What's more, according to UFO-ologists, your blood type is probably "O" negative, signifying that your DNA is lacking a vital protein found in the red blood cells of 85% of otherwise normal folk. That is, unlike the rest of us, "O" (for Orange) negative belongs to that 15% of the population who may be aliens -- as in, from outer space. The remedy? An old-fashioned blood-letting sans tourniquet, followed by a thorough blood transfusion.
