Amazing displays of ignoranceSandettie Light Vessel Automatic tells us: "My dad's friend told us there's no such thing as gravity - it's just the weight of air holding us down". Tell us of times you've been floored by abject stupidity. "Whenever I read the Daily Express" is not a valid answer.

No, it isn't blue.Why don't you ask someone who knows what they're talking about? www.askabiologist.org.uk/
Veins look blue under your skin because a lot of stuff looks blue under skin. Melanin is brown when it's in the right place (close to the surface of the skin) but if it's too deep it appears blue. Babies are sometimes born with a blue patch on their lower back, which is a deposit of melanin. The Japanese even have the phrase 'his bum is blue' which is equivalent to our 'wet behind the ears'.
