Re: cryonic suspension – who was the first human to enter UNwillingly?(I don’t think freezing to death on the likes of Mt. Everest would count.)

What was the crime of the Frenchman who was guillotined?

Of course tarantulas run faster when warm, they’re cold-blooded.

48 years is long enough. I say let’s thaw him out and give him a smart phone.

Are there any cold-blooded animals that are faster when it’s cold?

Let’s see: if the man is actually in cryonic suspension, why is he the “late” Dr. James H. Bedford? And about tarantulas running faster when it is hot, I’m trying to figure out how that is a “believe it or not” item. On a five-choice multiple choice, I could have guessed that one.

Tarantulas at the equator running east are faster than tarantulas at the tropic of cancer running west.

Now THAT would be “Believe-it-or-Not-worthy!”

So did they make alternative arrangements if the cryo was not successful? Where is the body now I wonder?

I don’t think anyone has yet joined the “frozen chosen” while still alive. They are all recently dead when frozen.

I’d run faster too if one of those spiders was after me!

and one of its legs is both the same…

A lot of these are becoming “Did You Know” rather than Believe it or Not.

Arizona on a 120 degree dayTarantula say,,"OOCH..OUCH…OOCH…OUCH eight times fast…on his way..

Have people been put into cryonic suspension unwillingly?
