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.

In this case, the unusual colour of the 42-year-old’s blood was down to the migraine medication he was taking.

The man’s leg surgery went ahead successfully and his blood returned to normal once he eased off the drug.

    Wait.. it COULD be a Romulan… which could mean a terrorist….

    J/P=?

    Actually, I didn’t read it here first. But you did have a sweet photo of Jolene Blalock, so I’ll give you partial credit.

    Speaking of things you don’t expect to be green: I traveled to Bulgaria a couple of times last year and the Apple juice I had there was green rather than the traditional urine color I’ve come to expect in the U.S. It was delicious too.

  5. BubbaRay says:

    This is precisely the effect too much Romulan ale will have, turn your blood green.

    And Eideard, that’s a great photo of T’Pol !

    Yeah sure, migraine medication, then a little freakin alien pops out of his chest, we’re doomed.

    #4 – YES, IT WAS THE SAME WHEN I WENT TO ISTANBUL. VERY TASTY

    I’d have liked to see the expression on the surgeon’s face when he cut into that leg and green blood came out.

    #4 & #8

    Chances are that it wasn’t pasteurized apple juice, the same applies to Pineapple juice, it taste a lot better than the boiled piss that’s sold on cans.

    I’m surprised this hasn’t ended up in a flame war over who’s hotter, T’Pol or 7 of 9.

    #11, who’s hotter, T’Pol or 7 of 9.

    Hmm, Vulcan or Borg? Tough choice. Logic or assimilation? OK, I’ll go out on a limb and take both!! Pass that Romulan Ale, please, I’ll need it.

    #15 NERDS!!!!!!

  16. BubbaRay says:

    #16, Nothing like name calling to make you more intelligent. Thanks for the compliment, I need it today.

  17. hhopper says:

    And this coming from the guy who doesn’t like Jimmy Buffet. Man.

  18. mark says:

    18. I will shoot a parrothead on sight, no questions asked.

  19. natefrog says:

    #11: I’d play doctor with either one of them!

    Or, better yet. . .both of them!

  20. OhForTheLoveOf says:

    #17 – Bwahahahaha

    #18 – I’m not a nerd. I’m a geek. Geeks are similar to nerds, but we don’t have problems getting laid.

    #19 – Wow. I’m not that mean about it 🙂

  21. BubbaRay says:

    #21, What did I ever do to you to deserve this? Call me a nerd or geek, I have no problem with either title or with being married for 36 years to a babe. I certainly need not justify my existence to you. Are you just insecure? Are you just after Hop’s UKKMA? If so, go for it!! And get a life!!

  22. OhForTheLoveOf says:

    #22 – I’m sorry Bubba… I never should have let your pristine image get tarnished in my retort to Jimmy Buffet lovin’ Hopper 🙂

    You know you are like a brother to me and I’d never let any verbal harm befall you…

  23. OhForTheLoveOf says:

    #22 – Oh and I was using Google Maps Street View… You are right… Your wife is a babe 🙂

  24. mark says:

    21. You dont live in the Caribbean and have to put up with the dorks.

  25. OhForTheLoveOf says:

    #25 – I think you prolly have a very valid point.

  26. mark says:

    21. The only music I hate more than Buffetts, is Reggae. Its must be an overload thing. Plus seeing all the phony white rastas.

  27. BubbaRay says:

    #24, Darnit, I told her not to go outside in that bikini, and I knew I should have mowed the lawn that day!! 🙂
