Robert, I think you need to spend more time around what Sasha used to
call "the normals." This language will gag them:

"After what I saw and experienced, I just can't contain myself any
longer," Hamon told the Daily News by phone Tuesday. "I want the whole
world to know what they've done to Ted. This was absolutely horrifying."
Hamon told the newspaper he was "appalled" by the cluttered conditions
inside the facility, then gave the Daily News the following account of
entering the containment room where Williams' body is stored:

"I was a little taken aback at the sanitary conditions because of my
experience in the mortuary business," Sgrillo told the newspaper when
reached in Phoenix. "But what really concerned me were the dangerously
low levels of nitrogen in each of the tanks. It was when I asked
(Lemler) about that he said: 'Tour's over!'
"When I asked them about this whole process, they said: 'We don't
promise anything. We don't know what's on the other end.' "
When reached by the Daily News on Tuesday, Lemler said he does not
recall the visit by Hamon and Sgrillo and denied that there are problems
with nitrogen levels in the Alcor facility. When asked by the newspaper
about its sanitary conditions, he said "no comment."
"I just can't believe people believe in this," Sgrillo told the Daily
News, "that their loved ones can be brought back to life. Are they
really that stupid?"

The vast majority of male Americans look on ESPN as a primary source of
important information -- information that matters to them and that they
spend *huge* amounts of time discussing among themselves. As much as
you know about molecular biology, your average bright American male
knows about professional sports.
