Reanimated Lobsters?
SYFer writes "Trufresh, a Connecticut-based frozen food company claims that lobsters frozen with its special freezing process sometimes come back to life when thawed.
If these claims prove true, will the dubiously regarded field of "cryonics" finally get some respect?" If people were more like lobsters, maybe. The company's success rate at reviving lobsters after short-term freezing (at -40 degrees) is 12 out of 200.
LOBSTER STICKS TO MAGNET
> My comment can be read two different ways. The fish died because we killed them. I have no idea how long they would survive if we left them alone.
Kill them once, shame on you; kill them twice, shame on them.

Frozen to death, reanimated, then boiled to death.
Kill them once, shame on you; kill them twice, shame on them.
I think a certain bowl of Petunias would disagree with you on this one...
just freeze 'em til you need your customer to pick out his lobster, then kill him and cook it!
But if you kill your customer, who will pay for your delicious lobster dinnner?

Stressed? Me? Of course not. Stress is what a rubber band feels before it breaks, silly.

You've convinced me to do an experiment...
I need 200 volunteers. Only 12 or so of you will make it through this experiment but it is a sacrifice I'm willing to make.
Yeah, but I had taken it to be -40 Kelvins.

This means you won't have to go through expensive layoffs and re-hiring phases during economic cycles.
When it turns out you have too many employees, just send a couple of them into the freezers under some pretext, and thaw them out when things get busy again.
