X-Message-Number: 11186 From: (Randy) Subject: Cryonics grist for yet more TV Date: Wed, 27 Jan 1999 15:28:34 GMT References: <> A new TV show called Futurama upcoming from the creator of The Simpsons has a pizza boy falling into a vat of LN at a cryonics facility (or some such scheme) and revived 1000 years later. Wired magazine has a feature on the show at http://www.wired.com/wired/current.html Here is a quote from Matt Groening, the creator, on the themes of the show: "The themes: If you are a loser, is it possible to reinvent yourself? How do you deal with the desire for youth, for the return of dead loved ones, and what does it mean to be finite in the universe?" I guess that is how many people view us, as losers who want to reinvent themselves. Maybe they're right...... *************** Randy Cryonics: Gateway to the Future? http://www.mindspring.com/~cryon/cryonics/cryopage1.html Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=11186
