Over the course of two painstaking years in the late 1990s, Saddam Hussein had sat regularly with a nurse and an Islamic calligrapher; the former drawing 27 litres of his blood and the latter using it as a macabre ink to transcribe a Qur'an. But since the fall of Baghdad, almost eight years ago, it has stayed largely out of sight - locked away behind three vaulted doors. It is the one part of the ousted tyrant's legacy that Iraq has simply not known what to do with." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The average human male has 5 liters of blood. When you donate blood, they take one pint at a time (roughly 473 milliliters). Then you have to wait for 11 weeks in order to safely donate again. It takes that long for the body to replenish the blood. The article claims this was done over a 2 year period. If you do the math, there is no way for him to have given 27 liters of blood.

BTW I had a rare cause of meningitis when I was 13 and can't give blood. i didn't realize you have to wait so long to give again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
