Walt Disney and the Frozen Head
The practice of cryonics involves freezing a human body shortly after death in the hope that future medical advancements may enable us to resurrect it. Sometimes only the head is required; the full body is unnecessary. We would have outgrown the need for a body by the time medical science has developed to the point where resurrections are feasible, and we would be able to implant our brain into a computer, an android, a smart toaster, or something similar. There are many people who have put their faith in cryonics for a long life, including, if the lore is to be accepted, its most well-known benefactor, Walt Disney.
According to a well-known urban legend, the CEO of the Disney Corporation is presently frozen, waiting for science to eliminate the concept of "death." Some even claim that it is kept beneath the "Pirates of the Caribbean" rollercoaster at Disneyland.
There is no proof that Walt Disney ever froze himself, let alone that he had any interest in cryonics. The rumor was disproved by his own daughter, and records indicate that Disney had his remains cremated after passing away. Others claim that a few mischievous Disney employees began the rumor, while others accuse a reporter for a bygone tabloid named The National Spotlite.
