Would anyone here please share if they have taken part in this outpouring of support? And from a technical standpoint I wonder how protected they are from the elements. best wishes, John Date: Mon, 11 Mar 2002 20:21:30 -0800 From: revermore <> [add to address book] [add to spam block list] Subject: Castles, Cognac, and the death of romance in France To: Extropians <> Reply To: Non-member submission from [revermore <>] A golden chain guards the tiny doorway to the future for Raymond and Monique Martinot - their immortal love momentarily frozen in time, awaiting the inevitable day when science ultimately conquers the final insult. Their capsule of mortar and ingenuity precariously drifting along on the currents of their uncertain destiny. A deadly shadow moves closer and then suddenly recoils as if astonished by a sensation outside it's ancient experience - a singular foreboding as if this cool cellar might somehow be a trap! For when news of the lover's plight reached the Extropic Travelers, they came together as never before in the growing realization that their golden PR opportunity had indeed arrived. Outside a small cellar in Neuil-sur-Layon, France, for the first time in recorded history, an impressive declaration of support for Raymond and Monique Martinot's immortal dream was read aloud by their son Remy. It included the names and brief statements of thousands of individuals worldwide - including scientists, doctors, engineers, philosophers, writers, etc. who believed that this act must not be permitted. Also included were numerous appended documents affirming the plausibility of the cryonic perspective AND the names of EVERY official attempting to perpetuate this double murder. And the world became most interested. 2,000,000,000 Web Pages--you only need 1. Save time with My Lycos. http://my.lycos.com Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=18770
