Rudi Hoffman's sign off:

" I promise you that 
my intention is to work even harder this year to help promote cryonics, life 
extension, and preservation of individual lives.  

Warmly (bold highlights added) and Sincerely Yours, For Centuries,

Rudi Hoffman CFP"


Well, I just thought "warmly" seemed to be a politically incorrect term to be 
used by the Earth's

most effective cryonics salesman. (Just joking of course.)  Congratulations 
Rudi!  May you enroll
thousands more.


There was an article in the New York Times Science Section recently about 1000 
year old

mummies that had been found in Siberian Permafrost in excellent condition.  I 
thought it was

interesting that copper sheeting seemed to be a factor in keeping them in such 
great condition,


If an accident of nature could preserve someone that long, it is a testament  to
the power

of cold and proper storage conditions to delay decomposition.  I have also been 
impressed with those
insects perfectly preserved in clumps of amber for millions of years.


These kinds of facts are not what modern day cryonics are all about.  However, 
they

are scattered threads of thought and fact that makes cryonic arguments seem more

believable--just like freezing embryos for years, the frozen frogs that revive 
every year, etc.
