Offbeat: We’re breaking our AP boycott because this story is just too weird

  • Weird: Woman decides to get head cyrogenically frozen. Normal: The woman changes her mind and wants her body kept intact. Super-strange: The company in charge of doing it is putting up a huge legal fight to keep her head for some stupid reason. Alcor, BTW, is the company that played baseball with Ted Williams’ body parts.

Offbeat: Bring me Ted Williams’ severed head … so I can open a can of tuna

  • Ahahahahahahahahahahaha. Best story ever. It’s been a while since we’ve heard some #^!((& stuff that makes us glad to be alive. And thanks to this story about malpractice at the Alcor cryogenics lab that has the head of Ted Williams, we have it. According to a whistleblower, these guys reportedly:
    1. Took his head off with zero medical knowledge.
    2. Tried to remove a can of tuna stuck to the frozen head.
    3. Used Williams’ head for batting practice. Wow. WOW. source
