<3 Injin :] Thank you for reading my drivel! Bagels? I dunno ... Think I naturally have low iron levels. They always have to do the haemoglobin test on me >.> DId they find unusually high levels of copper? Maybe you're slowly turning into a horseshoe crab. WHO SAYS THINGS LIKE THAT. |

I ... uh ... what?  Taed went off the deep end? Could be the nanites infiltrating my blood-stream, possibly! I know there's copper in PCB's. |

Do they really? ... So ... are they still, like ... are they aliens? Or ... they like carbon-thingies ... ? Fascinating. I'm pretty sure I'm not turning into a horseshoe crab. Just so you know!

Many people have suggested that Vulcan blood is copper based because it's green, but hemocyanin is actually blue. A vanadium compound is a more likely candidate. 246 toothpicks. Two hundred and forty-six. |

WE CAN ALL USE WIKIPEDIA, KAEZ! AH HA! HORSESHOE CRAB BLOOD! LOOK AT THIS! BLUE! SOMETIMES IT'S BLUE! ...... ish. Actually, I'm pretty confused. The internet seems to be suggesting that it should be -dark blue- when oxygenized. That is, so blue it might look purple (as I expected). But when circulating, it looks grayish or maybe a pale off-white. Either way, nothing suggests it should be that sort of pale blue... ... hrm. |

I would assume that the picture I posted is the 'greyish or maybe a pale of-white' state and the picture you posted is oxygenated.
