Iron
 - To much iron in your blood 
- These are the required elements for making steel: - Iron
- Carbon
- Manganese
- Chromium
- Phosphorus
- Sulphur
- Nickel
- Molybdenum
- Titanium
- Copper
- Boron
 - Source: https://www.cliftonsteel.com/education/11elementsfoundinsteel - So, iron is only step 1. Humans are carbon based lifeforms, so I’m guessing that carbon is also sorted, that’s step 2. - There’s plenty of other elements in the human body, like phosphorus and sulphur, but I’m guessing that it’s going to take more than 300 adults. - Source: https://sciencenotes.org/elements-in-the-human-body-and-what-they-do/ - Source: https://sciencenotes.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/PeriodicTableHumanBody.png - And I’m guessing Gowron has killed a lot more than 300 adults. On an average Tuesday. - Mind you, those might not all be human… - So, add some Romulan blood for that sweet copper. 
- The pink-blooded Klingons are extra irony. - That or it’s Pepto-Bismol. Who knows? - It’s a Tums festival! 
 
 
 
 
- Yeah, the original “300” was flawed. Not solely because of the percentages, but because of the amount of iron itself you can get out of blood being over estimated by a factor of about 10. Somebody actually did an experiment to find out how much iron you can get from blood, there used to be a video on YouTube of it, and the amounts were way less than the original 300 estimate. 
- Removed by mod - Instead of figuring out how to build the enterprise irl humans have decided to work on figuring out how to make a sword from the blood of their enemies - Removed by mod  
- Well we do already have humans speaking Klingon 
 
- If we can’t have our warp matrix run on the bones of orphans i can’t find a venture capital firm to fund it. 
 
 
 
- Or just get Mystique to inject some more into that one security guard - I absolutely loved that scene when magneto escapes… 
 
- Only farm fresh human blood swords for me and mine. 
- Hey so what happens to unused blood bank blood? Like the red blood cell stuff not the other stuff - I heard it has a life of about a month or so, so I assume it either goes to further research or it’s destroyed - If yiu could process blood otherwise intended for destruction, at the scales at which blood is donated in the us, I’d have thought it would be reasonably doable - https://cw39.com/cw39/what-happens-to-your-expired-blood-donations/ - Incinerated or used for medical/scientific experiments, but it seems that’s a small percentage of the blood since they are doing their best to JIT the production chain.
