#1 Once we came back from a six week summer vacation- temperatures at home of 100 degrees or more- to find a freezer full of meat had failed. I stood outside the house, upwind, for about ten minutes and hyperventilated, then went in, got it on the sack truck, through the house, out the back door and fifty yards away all on one breath.
From then on we emptied the freezer before every vacation. Never had another freezer fail. Thanks for the memory.

#2 I think I'd like this inscription on my tomb, in several languages:

"Immense power and wealth to whoever can resurrect and restore the one who lies within. Be sure to also (the rest chipped off)."

#5 Raymond should be thankful--think of all the backtaxes he'd owe in 2050.

#6 Raymond Martinot and his wife were the toast of the world cryonics movement.

Toast?
Appears they still are. But not in the way they'd prefer...

#7 LOL 'Mooseman! The only reason I'd consider burial is so I might have the opportunity to be interred with a 1 Gig USB memory thingy, a 12 transistor radio, a 1908 IndianHed Penny and a Clovis point.

Add a viking helmet, chain mail waistcoat over kevlar vest, broadsword, Colt .45 Peacemaker and a cell phone. 2000 years from now you'll drive scientists crazy.
