Many will recognise this as an X files plot line study

scary!

BBC wrote:An ancient virus has "come back to life" after lying dormant for at least 30,000 years, scientists say.
It was found frozen in a deep layer of the Siberian permafrost, but after it thawed it became infectious once again.
The French scientists say the contagion poses no danger to humans or animals, but other viruses could be unleashed as the ground becomes exposed.
The study is published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
Professor Jean-Michel Claverie, from the National Centre of Scientific Research (CNRS) at the University of Aix-Marseille in France, said: "This is the first time we've seen a virus that's still infectious after this length of time."

I read about this. Lying dormant for 30,000 years! Unbelievable.

I wonder if you freeze someone, when they're sleeping , for two years.

Then thaw them out, could you get there heart beating again?

Cryogenics? Did you know that there are dead people in America who are frozen in specially adapted chambers to be brought back to life years later when advances in modern medicine make it possible?

Scott, why don't you just advance it by 1 every now and then? But make sure you don't get to 69, as you'll have Wonky Whittam after you. Very Happy
