I couldn't resist this story, as it somewhat involves Star Trek's Mr. Spock. I always liked him. In fact, when a man I recently refused to date called me "Vulcan bitch," I felt somewhat flattered. The BBC reports:
"A team of Canadian surgeons got a shock when the patient they were operating on began shedding dark greenish-black blood, the Lancet reports. The man emulated Star Trek's Mr Spock - the Enterprise's science officer who supposedly had green Vulcan blood."
Reportedly, the patient's blood changed colors because he'd taken large doses of a migraine drug called Sumatriptan. Five weeks after he stopped taking the drug, his blood appeared normal.
