      And I’m not sure about the cow stuff, but pig blood is almost completely identical to human blood down to the molecular level, so shouldn’t present many if any aberrations when compared to real life intended use!

        Steel girders, pizza and bath mats are all identical to human blood at the sub atomic level. Best to compare at the molecular level

          Good point! Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna fix my comment and then resume my steel girder and bath mats breakfast! Dennys have gotten WEIRD with their grand slam combos lately!
