(holding steady from the percentage at 2001 votes!)

What that means is that while fewer than .000001% of people are signed 
up for cryonics as many as 36% are open to the idea.  Even allowing for
factors in people exposed to the poll, I call that a major memetic 
breakthrough, and a sign that maybe an ad campaign is called for!
