This has nothing to do with cryonics, but it is pretty funny.

Talk about strange calls the tech support folks endure.. Get this!
Caller:   "Hello, is this Tech Support?"
Tech Rep: "Yes, it is.  (asked for name/number/system)  How may I help you?"
Caller:   "The cup holder on my PC is broken and I am within my warranty
          period.  How do I go about getting that fixed?"
Tech Rep: "I'm sorry, but did you say a cup holder?"
Caller:   "Yes, it's attached to the front of my computer."
Tech Rep: "Please excuse me if I seem a bit stumped, it's because I am.  Did
          you receive this as part of a promotional, at a trade show, how did
          you get this cup holder?  Does it have any trademark on it?"
Caller:   "It came with my computer, I don't know anything about a
          promotional.  It just has '4X' on it."

At this point the Tech Rep had to mute the caller because he couldn't stand
it.  The Caller had been using the  load drawer of the CD ROM as a cup holder
and broke it off the drive...OOPS!
