Johnson says Alcor used the cans, from a cat that lived on the premises, as pedestals for the heads.

Williams' head was being transferred from one container to another when the monkey wrench incident took place, Johnson said in the book. When the head was removed from the first container, Johnson described it.

Reading. It's not just for us. :-D

That IS screwy, tho.

dude the point is
first of all they gotta be charging a ton of $ to sell this pipe dream
and the best they can do is a friggin tuna can?
like they didnt know it'd stick to a frozen surface, like your tongue on a flagpole?
all the latest technology and this is what you get for your $$$?

not to mention-
it's a dam sacrilige that they do this
especialy the Kid- he was one of the greatest in the game-
what, they want to make $$$ vacinating future generations for great batting off of him??
let the man r.i.p. for petes sake

Those lab rats need to stop the monkey business before someone loses their head!:smile:

A strange thing to have done after you die. It would be a real pisser to be yanked away from heaven to come back to earth.....

Maybe you just have to sit in Purgatory. Kind of like flying standby.

Supposedly they propped the head up on the tuna can for storage. When someone learned of the tuna can they felt they needed to use something else. And apparently the lab tech didn't have the same success with a monkey wrench as Ted did in the bigs.

I don't know what all the hoopla is about. I myself have almost taken a monkey wrench to a dead man's head propped up on a tuna can on several occasions. I'm not proud of it.

/obscure?

They know what's to come....so you have to wait around. Although, given what allegedly happened to Ted...I don't hold out much hope for him being brought back...

if he does --he'll only be a Chip off the Old Block

i just watched "the island" last night. sub-par movie, but it addresses the same eternal life issue that cryogenics does.

needless to say, scarlett johansson is WAY hotter than ted williams' chipped frozen head with a tuna can stuck to it.
