I mention hypnagogic myoclonus as one conceivable means to an alternative route. I may try to blog details sometime soon at http://ttjohn.blogspot.com/ uv ----- Original Message ----- From: "Quentin Anciaux" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <everything-list@eskimo.com> Sent: Thursday, November 10, 2005 10:56 PM Subject: Re: Question for Bruno > Le Jeudi 10 Novembre 2005 19:48, GottferDamnt a écrit : > > I have another question: I know that with the quantum theory of > > immortality, the non-cul-de-sac conjecture involve that there are always > > some branches where you can stay alive, but can you follow the same > > branches for an eternity?
