that the very oldest stories are, sooner or later, about blood. Later on they took the blood out
to make the stories more acceptable to children, or at least to the people who had to read them
to children rather than the children themselves (who, on the whole, are quite keen on
blood provided it's being shed by the deserving), and then wondered where the stories went."
-Terry Pratchett, Hogfather
