[ExI] freeze and shake

[Gina Miller]

I wasn't making a direct reaction to the article, I was just making a joke 
in reference to their comment "A "Resomator", for instance, uses alkaline 
hydrolysis to reduce a corpse into a white powder and murky liquid intended 
to be flushed down the drain without polluting the environment." You know, 
like a life down flushed down the drain....(or other) I guess these things 
don't always translate via email.
