X-Message-Number: 3517 From: Stanton McCandlish <> Subject: CRYONICS Humor, reminds me of Alcor due to cryo connection Date: Tue, 20 Dec 1994 16:25:34 -0500 (EST) >From News of the Wierd: ********* * In November, in what is believed to be the first-ever relocation of its kind, the contents of a Paris sperm bank were transported by truck about 2-1/2 miles to new facilities, with the logistical detail reminiscent of the transfer of nuclear materials. The 300,000 sperm samples, frozen in liquid nitrogen, along with several hundred embryos, were insulated against spills and vibrations, and a motorcycle guard assured that the truck, which made four trips, could pass through all traffic signals without stopping.
