Body fluids draining out of my body in a controlled manner. I mean, how cool is that? It's like looking out a plane window. It's something nature would not have us ever see, yet thanks to modern technology, we can, and we can do so perfectly safely. How cool is that?

You should give plasma -- not only do you see them pump the blood out, but they separate the plasma from the red blood cells and PUT THE RED BLOOD CELLS BACK IN! How cool is that?
