Blood, sweat, tears are classic bodily fluids. But blood, for instance, only makes up 9% of your total bodily fluid. What else is oozing around inside you?

Are you a zombie or a hero? Blood is a shockingly accurate gauge of what type of film you're in.
Culture Buzz A river so polluted in China that it's turned a Kool Aid shade of red. The End Times are nigh, and they are apparently Chinese.
Culture Buzz Ouch. The Muslim world this past week observed Muharram, the first month of the Islamic calendar. The 10th day of Muharram is Ashura, when Shi'ite Muslims mourn the death of the grandson of the Prophent Mohammed. Very devout Shi'ites cut and whip themselves into a bloody froth in observance. Here are photos of Ashura from Pakistan, Afghanistan and India. WARNING: Graphic images.
TV Buzz A sure fire way to totally ruin everyone's summer is to get drunk and set up a makeshift Slip 'n Slide in a construction zone.
Sports Buzz Laurens Ten Dam of Team Rabobank had a terrible face-first crash during Stage 14 of this year's Tour but has continued racing in heroic fashion. Although his sport has been plagued with steroids allegations in recent years, no one can question the dedication of this Dutch cyclist. (via jesuz)
Sports Buzz Brutal! Smart or not, I respect Carwin for enduring this punishment from Junior dos Santos at UFC 131. More here and here.
In a segment devoted to skewering himself over lax coverage of Anthony Weiner on The Daily Show, Jon Stewart took “skewering himself” a bit too literally. Stewart cut his hand on broken glass, but knowing that the penis puns must go on, he bandaged up and finished the show. It's amazing this sort of margarita injury doesn't happen every day on Kathie Lee and Hoda.
Culture Buzz From ABC News, bloody images and video from the room where U.S. forces shot and killed Osama bin Laden. A.K.A., “the kill site.” Again, these are graphic, so the squeamish may want to move on.
Culture Buzz This is truly effed up. A mentally disturbed woman mutilated the family cat so she could wear its blood to a Lady Gaga concert in Oklahoma City. She's been charged with animal cruelty and is currently receiving treatment.
Culture Buzz Like a vampire covered in glitter and sweat, Ke$ha made a shocking performance at Future Music Festival in Sydney when she drank a blood-like substance from a heart. Well, shocking if food coloring and corn syrup can be considered shocking. What I want to know is where can I get a squeeze bottle heart?
Celebrity Buzz Here's renowned “Piranha 3D” actress Kelly Brook slathered head to toe with red lipstick for a slightly disturbing Exhibition Magazine photo shoot. Is this some sort of weird Joker fetish? Many more over at Egotastic.
Culture Buzz Assad Sawey, bandaged and bloody, describes being beaten and shocked with cattle prods by Egyptian police while he was covering the mass uprising. He considers himself lucky, saying that other reporters were being rounded up by plain clothed authorities and taken to “somewhere unknown.”
Food Buzz An amazing piece of condiment technology that you don't realize is doing what it's doing until it's too late. These videos are old, yes, but the tears streaming down your face from laughing will be brand new.
Time is running out for finding a Halloween costume! Why not just coat yourself in realistic blood? Now you can be a sexy-dead-“whatever.”
Scientists say the blood-red color of this five-story waterfall may be due a 2-million-year-old ecosystem of microbes trapped underneath the glacier. Now, what about Jesus's face?
Barcelona based creative agency Iskiam Jara has a new campaign where you can apparently order the blood of their creative directors. I'm not sure if this is for real, or just a campaign meant to show off their creativity, but either way EWWWW!

There’s no doubt that currently, vampires are in, and it’s not hard to see why: They’re often fashionable, beautiful and mysteriously attractive—at least, in the movies. For a look at the real thing, Comcast On Demand’s new series VAMPIRES REVEALED documents the lives of three practicioners of the lifestyle, and how the mainstream frequently misunderstands their beliefs, behavior and daily lives. The series plays through November 2 (find it in the Paranormal folder), and can be accessed 24 hours a day.
Warning: minor Mad Men spoilers (though not really, when out of context). It's even better than Pete Campbell dancing, trust me.

Snow Leopard: it's the next iteration of Apple's Mac OS X, and it's also a beast that hunts cute little snow bunnies (no, not young women who spend a great deal of time skiing) and *gasp* eats them.
When you start off your morning with a giant sea of blood, you know it's going to be a good day.
A clip from a Japanese movie from the 70s called Hausu which is apparently about a killer lampshade, but might also be about a painting of a cat. Also, there are wacky disembodied legs, and a bleeding geisha, and enough blood to cause a flood. So, the movies pretty much got it all.
Poor dude's just sitting on the porch, reading his book, when his hilarious girlfriend slaps him with her bloody tampon. Ha-ha! But she was just joking! Honey? Well, suffice to say honey's not laughing.
