Fun fact #2: The above "fact" is anything but.

The origin of this popular myth is probably that it has been suggested 
that the salinity of mammalian bodily fluids resembles that of the 
/primordial/ oceans, back when life first evolved.

Today's sea water is about 4 times more saline than human blood.
