The likelihood of such might be small, but just say there's a .001 risk of eating a certain food and going into convulsions lasting years-- would i eat that food? No.</DIV> <DIV> I signed up to be suspended anyway yet always wonder about the
direst of reanimation possibilities seeing as how we live in a multiverse not a universe, and all possibilities are conceivable. Though the risk is very small if one loses the odds and is tortured forever, death would seem like a wonderful priceless gift. </DIV> <DIV><BR> </DIV> <div> <HR SIZE=1> Don't be flakey. <A href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/evt=43909/*http://mobile.yahoo.com/mail">Get Yahoo!
