Traditional Lo Mein is noodles boiled in won ton soup, then taken out of the soup, I think!

Pretty big ramen fan, myself.

That's always a sign of love. Whenever you get into a relationship, always ask "Do you care enough about me to stab me in my sleep?"

Thu. 8/20/09 2:31am From: Darren

Nice and cool in Chicago. We had our pavement-licking last week.

Thu. 8/20/09 2:32am From: Greg

It depends where you are. Some doctors/hospitals/countries go by brain death, while others use heart death.

Thu. 8/20/09 2:35am From: Indiana Jordan

I would love to live forever, provided I wouldn't just degenerate forever.

Comas are like snowflakes

What about human cryogenics?

The British guy? Is that Ray Kurzweil?

Thu. 8/20/09 2:45am From: Megan

Just tuned in. I want to be immortal for the first few decades of my lovely country/empire of TOCTWSBTPWLTTORS, and then I will advise the next couple of kings, then I would die.

Thu. 8/20/09 2:48am From: Michael from Toronto

Virginia Woolf's Orlando is literature's great immortal dude/lady!

Ted Williams is the new King Tut.

I heard a story on a certain NPR show about a company in the 50s or 60s that was cryogenically freezing people. They rented a warehouse or something, and the bodies would be sealed in individual canisters (like giant thermoses) for preservation. Unfortunately, the company ran out of money and had to cut corners. They ended up stuffing several bodies into one thermos, but re-opening the thing ruined the seal and the bodies defrosted and were lost. I don't remember if anyone went to jail or not. But it was a good story.

They sell DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) at like GNC and your more health-orientated supermarkets (Whole foods & c.) in the hippy-vitamin aisle.

Humans are like appliances and cars. Built to fall apart so we have to buy new ones.

Thu. 8/20/09 3:03am From: Indiana Jordan

Doctor Who and Lord of the Rings. As if Night People wasn't my favorite show before!

Thu. 8/20/09 3:12am From: Pieter

This one by De Beauvoir is fascinating, it explores a lot of the downsides of immortality

Being immortal and getting a life sentence must suck.
