The opposite of that is kinda how I thought tattoo machines worked as a kid- as in with hollow needles and an ink cartridge, like fountain pens, and each poke into the skin would deposit ink that way. I even 'figured out' that the tiny vacuum from pulling the needle out would be what pulled the ink down into the skin.

When I found out how tattoo machines actually worked, it seemed so messy (and loud!).

And here I thought "Dracula - dead and loving it" cleared up that topic. Of course they're hollow.

That's why they make that empty hollow carton sound when they finish sucking all the blood out.

I thought that exact same thing about snakes.

Well, venomous snakes do have hollow teeth, but they work in reverse. This makes sense since there are venom glands, but sucking blood upwards would make it go....where? Funny to think about.
