Question: What color blood ...
Question: What color blood did Dr. Spock have? Also, how much money did Jack Benny win on The $64,000 Question? — Glenda D., Harrisburg, Pa. Televisionary: Administering random testing now, are we, Glenda? Don't give the rest any ideas, please. And to any of you getting 'em, I'm just answering these because I feel like it. First off, I wonder if you meant this to be a trick question. Famed pediatrician Dr. Benjamin Spock had red blood like the rest of us.

Vulcan blood is copper-based, as opposed to iron-based human blood.
As for your second query, the infamously cheap Benny (as far as his act went, anyway) answered his first question correctly — his category was violins — and was awarded $64. Afraid to lose it, he dropped out right there, took the money and ran.
