Heh. I'd have gone there too. Which is probably why I'm not a journalist. Well, one of the reasons. Also, this means the Red Sox are going to get swept. And so begins the curse of the Ted Head.
:horrormirth: The first thing that came to my mind was the striking similarity to the Doktors For "BOB"'s act*. Its clearly a knockoff, although the Alcor people have the Doktors beat in one respect since they have the actual head of a professional athlete, and not just a graven image like the Doktors have.
*For those of you unfamiliar with the Doktors for "BOB", part of their act usually involves using a golf club to launch a graven image of Arnold Palmer's** head.
**Arnold Palmer is a famous professional golfer.
This makes me hate John Henry Williams even more. I don't care that he died back in 2004. Dig up his body and shove a bat up his ass.
:vom:
QuoteJohnson writes that holes were drilled in Williams' severed head for the insertion of microphones, then frozen in liquid nitrogen while Alcor employees recorded the sounds of Williams' brain cracking 16 times as temperatures dropped to -321 degrees Fahrenheit.
:asplode:
LOL, futurists.
When the cells are dead, they're DEAD, baby. Chilled or no.
When this hit the news up here, people flipped the fuck OUT.
Lol @ superstitious Red Sox fans
:argh!: @ this whole story, it disgusts me.
QuoteA former paramedic, Johnson first blew the whistle on Alcor in a 2003 Sports Illustrated article about Williams' stored body.
He drew criticism at the time for an aborted attempt to sell photos online purportedly showing Williams' corpse.
Johnson said he hopes his book will help fulfill the wishes Williams expressed in his will - that his body be cremated and the ashes "sprinkled at sea off the coast of Florida, where the water is very deep."
