Do0d, whoever posted that was joking, and not at your expense.

Your response is overheated. You need to chill out.

The next time your lack of humor causes you to crack like thin ice, just stop right there and freeze in your tracks, regroup, and then try melting your adversary with humor. Good Humor. It's in the freezer section of your supermarket.

Then you'll be the eternally cool guy you've always wanted to be, and not some humorless stiff.

If you can manage to keep a cool head in these situations, people will say you have ice in your veins. :)

Actually I was joking also. Just forgot the smiley face. :eek:

I thought the over exagerated tongue in cheek statement which included the word "Bastards" and about a dead body getting kicked off a helicopter would be seen as the satire it was.
My bad. :oops:

In regards to getting frozen there are two main companies that do it now days. You pay a small fee up front with a very small membership fee and the rest comes from your extreme amount of wealth or life insurance with the company set as the receiver of the money.

They set up a seperate legal trust to hold the money for future cost of maintaining the temporary dead.

One company costs ~150k the other is ~50k. Extra ~10k for a "life flight" team to get you.

All you do is buy a whole life or universal life insurance policy or some other life insurance that doesnt stop a X age. Then when you bite the dust, hopfully at a ripe old age surrounded by loved ones in yuoyr home, the company comes and picks you up. Then they pump a relatively non-toxic anti-freeze into you and supercool you down slowly. The anti-freeze is to keep ice crystals from forming and destroying your cells on a microscopic level, which (as one person that posted correctly) keeps your information in your brain intact.

Then they inject you with microscopic machines to fix cellular damage, regrow what ever organs failed at death, install them, and the hope is you will be repaired and functional.

I figure if I am in Heaven then I will be brought back, just like when you die "on the table". If I am wrong and there is nothing after death then getting frozen is the best option there is.

Yeah it could worse then but things could be better. I think if they can restore you to a "young sixty" it wouldnt be so bad as long you werent just kept in a lab, etc.

Will I have to use the 3 seashells? If yes, then no.

C'mon they're not that bad - if you've used chopsticks before, it's virtually the same thing, just with a third chopstick for scraping.
