This is the sickest thing I've read this week: "Ted Williams' Severed Head Abused"

Ted Williams' Severed Head Abused In Cryonics Facility: Former Exec

NEW YORK — The New York Daily News is reporting that Red Sox Hall of Famer Ted Williams' severed head was mistreated at an Arizona cryonics facility, according to details from a new book.

In "Frozen," Larry Johnson, a former executive at the Alcor Life Extension Foundation in Scottsdale, Ariz., writes that Williams' head, which had been severed and frozen for storage, was abused at the facility. Johnson claims a technician took baseball-like swings at Williams' frozen head with a monkey wrench.

Williams, the last player to hit over .400 in a season, died in 2002 at age 83 and had his remains sent to Alcor for cryogenic storage in the hope that future generations would develop the technology to revive him.

3. That's why freezing your head and expecting to come back

to life at some futurama is a really STUPID idea.

4. Well, Ted was a a bit of an asshole when he was alive.

So this is a case of delayed Karma. Not instant, at all. So, I take it there is a job opening for a lab tech at Alcor Life?

5. The whole story of the cryogenically preserved body is just freaky

Very very strange.
