Want to be cryogenically preserved but can't afford the $50,000 to $120,000(US) price tag?. Well, it's your lucky day! New Scientist magazine is sponsoring a contest, with the prize a free cryonic preservation after death for the winner. And possibly-- ressurection afterwards, though most experts feel the best you'll do is unfreeze a very well preserved still-dead person. And don't be worried about the low, low prices of the Cryonics Institute meaning low quality freezing... Or you could just take the trip to Hawaii instead.

An article with an unexpected Furry connection!

The "Trip to Hawaii" link goes to a site off of "satlab.hawaii.edu." I worked as a scientist for that group until a few years back, and helped out the folks with some of the images, etc...

It's always fun to see things you worked on appear in the most unexpected places sometimes. :>
