Is this the only place for this question that will not cause visits by a whole bunch of people with badges or straight jackets? How would one maintain blood -- chicken, beef, human -- as sufficiently liquid in open air to be used as "ink" in a quill or metal dipping pen? The duration of need might be as long as 30 minutes. It's so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and then don't say it. Sam Levinson | ||

About the only way to keep blood "liquid" would be to obtain some sodium or lithium heparin or Sodium EDTA. We use these in the laboratory to keep blood from clotting and they work indefinetly. (Blood is put into a tube with these additives and it never clots.) There are actually lots of agents that will keep blood from clotting: heparin, EDTA, sodium citrate, etc. You might check with a local laboratory and see if they will give you a sample of tubes to try out. They are not likely to call the FBI. R Flowers | |||

Regarding pharmaceutical blood thinners and sodium chloride, after blood has dried -- regardless how long that actually takes -- will the result be as permanently stained as blood that has dripped/shed directly? It's so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and then don't say it. Sam Levinson | |||

Unless you're really trying to make a point to someone, I would just use a red pen!  I heal fast and don't scar. | |||

I would imagine my blood would just what you want as my sore leg prompted massive doses of coumadin and lovenox. I tend to use more than enough gun | |||

Ditto, ask for "pink, purple, green or blue top vacutainer tubes." The pink or purple top (aka edta tubes - see O.J. Simpson trial rumors) might be the best choice. The real trick is to get the blood into the tube BEFORE it clots though. Good luck. -eric " . . . a gun is better worn and with bloom off---So is a saddle---People too by God." -EH | |||

When I signed my soul to the devil he had me use a black ink fountain pen on parchment he had had made from somebody in a lower level of hell than I'm destined for that's now a poor skinless chap. Is there one or more anti-christs I don't know of that prefer(s) blood to ink? I forgot to ask what the ink was made from. Should I have asked for more than a south bend lathe and a Holland and Holland 12? I was new to the game so I might have gotten rooked. Thanks, tom | |||

If you constantly stir it while it cools down it wont clot. At least thats what the old ladies do when its pig or bull-slaughtertime | |||
