X-Message-Number: 16936 From: "john grigg" <> Subject: Mr. Long has the right idea! Date: Tue, 10 Jul 2001 00:09:29 "Dick Long" shared: Cryonics is certainly a great vehicle if you like to see your name in print and your face on TV. Good for you! I am sure cryonics will benefit greatly from your publicity-generating efforts! (end) Wow! You are absolutely right about cryonics being the key to minor league celebrity! I could be among the most famous folks in Alaska if only I had thought of this long ago. "The Great Alaska Biotransport by Permafrost Society" will be the name of my organization! I'm sure the big oil companies and senator Ted Stevens will fund me. he continues: And yes, as Simon Carter has pointed out elsewhere on this forum, the corpse of Elizabeth's relative is now about 4 months old. But that really shouldn't matter, right? Don't worry about that: the longer the corpse stays in the ground, the more publicity you will generate when you dig him up and freeze him. So there is really no hurry. (end) My organization's first goal will be to exhume the body of the late great U.S. president Abraham Lincoln and have him put in "biostasis" in the cold depths of farthest north Alaska! The media spectacle should be incredible and I'm sure the government and public will immediately warm to my idea and allow me to do it. :) The whole nation will wonder, "why didn't we think of that!" I think Trygve, Dick and myself should form an alliance dedicated to the promotion of eccentric and highly self-aggrandizing cryonics promotion! We can get a lot more done as a group! ;) best wishes, John _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=16936
