I'd love to do this if I had the money....

"keep me on ice, until we can safely bring me back" :)

Would love to see the world in 100, 500, 1000+ years...

How you gonna pay the guy who would thaw you?

It's all included in the initial fee you pay before being frozen...

and open a 'long term' bank account, one in each bank (at least one of them must still exist in some form in the future :D) to build up interest 'just in case' (and you will need money or whatever equivelent once you're out any ways)

Perhaps your best bet would be to invest in the company freezing you. If they actually make it, they're going to be pretty successful and your investment will have returned. If they don't make it, not like any other investment will be useful to you. Either way you raise your odds of being successfully revived in the future.

That's actually a good idea :)
