7. From "This is Spinal Tap"
As Nigel (Christopher Guest) is being interviewed, he has on a T-shirt with a green skeletal print on it. He tells the interviewer that the T-shirt is an exact, medical representation of his "insides." He also indicates that his skeleton, like the T-shirt, is green. He goes on to talk about how your veins appear blue under your skin because your blood is blue, too.

If you have not seen "This is Spinal Tap," you really, really should!
