:2cents:

That's all I need is a bunch of dogs running around trying to eat my brains. Who needs that frustration.

Not if you get the brain cold enough.

It's the tissue degredatation that results from the oxygen starvation that causes brain damage.

to paraphrase fark, is anyone even TRYING to find a cure for cancer anymore?

naw... it's not nearly as cool as zombie dogs... GEEZ!

It's not bad enough for them to roll out the remedy yet.

Right, I just never knew about that whole keep it cool and it'll be fine deal. I guess as long as you just keep it cold but don't freeze the tissue?

Right, the trick is in cold but not frozen. If the tissues freeze, the resulting expansion when ice forms destroys the cell walls.

You don't want your brain getting freezer burn.
