Stanford Device Cools Body Inside Out

Posted by timothy on from the cuts-to-the-chase dept.

polished look 2 writes "This is a way cool invention: Those bright, eager scientists at Stanford invented a device that cools the body by drawing the blood to an extremity (such as the hand) and pulling the heat away it - thus the blood becomes cooler which is then re-circulated through the body. The net effect is that the entire body is cooled via this relativly small device."

    Fill a long cylinder with liquid nitrogen and shove it up your ass. That'll cool you from the inside out. Then people could shatter your buttocks with a hammer.

    Or have someone crush dry ice to a powder. Put a large diameter funnel in your ass. Have a friend pour warm water in the funnel then pour the dry ice powder. Remove the funnel, put a cork in it, aim your ass at a passing stranger and wait for the explosion to blow it out your ass.

    Both tricks are great for parties. They'll be talking about it for hours.
