Ray > the human head contains 1.5 pints of blood at any given time wouldn't be far off the mark I have never seen a volume mentioned but I would guess that 500ml is nearer the mark > an editor who would quote volumes in silly and archaic American standards rather than SIE metrics.

For what it's worth, and for that reason, I usually try and use American spelling when I write at SI.
