Iggy wrote: I thought about getting vanity front and back license plates on one of my cars with "CRYONICS", but Kansas plates only have a maximum of 7 characters :o( - so "CRYONIC" or "CRYO" would do just fine :o) This would not be my primary vehicle :o) which I use for my real estate business only, but rather a car for fun, going out, and traveling :o) This would be too much fun, wouldn't you say? (end) This sparked an idea in me! I once saw a van which had been lovingly airbrushed at every angle with STAR TREK characters and starships. Obviously, the owner of the van wanted to share his love of STAR TREK with the world! Why not have the cryonics equivalent?? A person could have several pro-cryonics slogans on each side of the van(with Alcor and CI website addresses clearly viewable). We have already discussed what some of the better ones could be. Pictures could in a progression show someone sick or aged and in great pain. Next a cryonics team is working over them, then they are shown frozen, and finally they are brought back with a new and vibrant body! I realize this "magic picture show" might throw off the public, so I am simply throwing out the idea for people here to consider. Perhaps showing pictures of the technological progression of humanity would be better. This would get them thinking that since technology has advanced so fast and far, that cryonics just might work one day to do what its proponents hope it does. So on the van it would say "Want to see what is coming next?? Visit WWW.ALCOR.ORG" I remember having a friend who worked for a company which had just gotten into the practice of advertising with a "fleet" of just ONE van! lol He told me they were very surprised at the response they were getting. So if it works for a temp agency, it just might work for us. : ) best wishes, John _____________________________________________________ Supercharge your e-mail with a 25MB Inbox, POP3 Access, No Ads and NoTaglines --> LYCOS MAIL PLUS. http://www.mail.lycos.com/brandPage.shtml?pageId=plus Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=19515
