#1428 – Boil

Maybe this would work better with a portable heat pump. A device strapped on to your waist that takes in your blood on one end, heats it up, and then pumps it back out the other and into your body. And in the middle of winter when you find yourself with a layer of ice stuck to your car’s windshield you can pop off a hose and spray the car down. Instant de-icer.

    Dialysis machines do that and clean the blood too.

    And if you’re too hot, try a pherisis (sp?) machine. They add room temperature saline to your blood for you.

    I lived in the Chicago area, so I did the next best thing to a machine to warm it up… I moved to Florida 😉

    The weather’s been so nice that I’ve forgotten it was winter.

    OK, hosing your windshield down with warmed blood..? THAT is one of the creepier conceits you’ve come up with.

    Well played, Sir!

  5. Now I realize how weird I am. I got very creeped out by the mere thought of this device that would heat up your blood, and yet I could watch a Gwar concert (with lots of blood and gore) without any problems at all! …Maybe this is because I knew from the beginning that their “blood” is just dyed water? But still…

    And I wonder how Biff can manage to stay alive after all he’s been through… He’s probably immortal.

    I can’t help but think of the dish I ate in Nicaragua made from pig’s blood (after watching the pig get slaughtered).
    If from the above you guessed that blood doesn’t make me squeamish you would be correct.

    spraying hot liquids over your windshield is inadvisable, i thought you know that it breaks apart due to temperature induced forthes.

    All I could think of is when Kramer was hauling his stored blood and overheated the car.

    When I saw the preview picture the caption I had was “It takes a while to reheat lava by stovetop”

    I would prefer the opposite – a blood-cooling machine.

    (Apparently, DARPA discovered that if you can keep body temperature from rising you can exercise for much longer. Plus it’s summer here, and in 40 Celsius heat you feel like it’s too hot to even have skin, much less wear clothes or function like a human being.)

    NASA has cooling suits you can wear in your spacesuit, that circulates cool water through a web of tubes over your skin; these are also used with MS sufferers and others with overheating problems.

    Hosing the car down with warm blood would probably draw CSI types to your parking space…

    In snow country (Salt Lake for school) I did pour the kettle (carefully) all over the windshield in winter, then unplug the dipstick heater and hope. Once that wasn’t enough, and the ice/water was all out of the engine on the way to school – new (old) car time!
