Has it been half an hour yet? 
She battled through in every kind of tribulation,
She revelled in adventure and imagination.
She never listened to no hater, liar,
Breaking boundaries and chasing fire.
Oh, my my! Oh my, she flies!

A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound misfit, I

I'm quite clever. I knew EXACTLY what to google to get pics of Kate's tits.
In case anybody's interested it was "Kate's tits"

You have an MA? From a box of cornflakes or a special offer at a service station?

Post-suspension posting indicates that consciousness survives death. Consider it a message from the other side.

FWIW though I don't seem to get much traction around here on information theoretic death, you can use plastination on the brain rather than cryo vitrification.
http://io9.com/5943304/how-to-preserve-your-brain-by-turning-it-into-plastic
I don't know the long term stability of that process of chemopreservation. Coolants obviously are much more predictable on the multi-hundred year timeframes as we know chemical action is slowed dramatically.
Obviously this process is utterly irrelevant to religious and the after-life people because they don't see the matter of the brain as relevant to the "mind".
