I wish I could make this shit up.

Bury or cremate loved ones and yourself fellas.

PHOENIX -- A new book by a former employee of Alcor, the company that froze Ted Williams' remains, alleges the baseball Hall of Famer's body was mistreated by the company.

Larry Johnson says in the book "Frozen: My Journey Into the World of Cryonics, Deception and Death" that he watched an Alcor official swing a monkey wrench at Williams' frozen severed head to try to remove a tuna can stuck to it. The first swing accidentally struck the head, Johnson contends, and the second knocked the tuna can loose.

Alcor Life Extension Foundation of Scottsdale, Ariz., issued a statement on its Web site denying the allegations and promising legal action.

At least they got that damned can off his head.

Which begs the obvious question as to which hump came up with the idea of fucking with the Splinter in the first case:

"Dude, screw it. I'm gonna stick this Starkist can on Teddy Ballgame's frozen dome. It'll be epic. Shit, it's fucking stuck. Where's the monkey wrench bro?"

Edit: And yeah, before there are any crocodile tears, I put this in NHB because I find it funnier than midgets and monkeys. Which are both hilarious, especially if paired together.

Just goes to show you, karma is a bitch. Williams was a prick during his life and his legacy (along head apparently) have taken multiple hits the past few years.

Johnson says Alcor used the cans, from a cat that lived on the premises, as pedestals for the heads.

I'd have used a trophy ball holder in the shape of a glove.

"The disembodied face set in that awful, frozen scream looked nothing like any picture of Ted Williams I've ever seen," he wrote.

Apparently he never saw a picture of Williams after a called 3rd strike.

Johnson paints a macabre scene in a room packed with people, many of whom posed for pictures with Williams' body, both before and after the head was cut off. The book contends the head was "hanging by a thread" when an official entered the room and shouted that it was supposed to be a full-body freezing.

Oops. Someone's on tuna can duty after that fuck up.

This is easily my favorite news story ever.

I just got back from the bar, drinking copious amounts of vodka and Redbull bombs, and I gotta say this is one of the funniest goddamn things i've read.

I've been laughing at this for like 10 minutes.

"Dude, screw it. I'm gonna stick this Starkist can on Teddy Ballgame's frozen dome. It'll be epic. Shit, it's fucking stuck. Where's the monkey wrench bro?"

Two dipshits sticking trash to Teddy Ballgame's nugget is so far beyond absurd.

And why the hell are we freezing peoples' heads? Is Ted coming back with a robot body?

Oh god, this country is great.

I hear they played pepper in the lab, batting William's dome around with John Holmes' frozen crank.

I don't know who is going to shed crocodile tears. I think it's bloody hilarious.

Those techs are making poor decisions if they honestly want to be the head of that company someday. If I were them, I wouldn't panic. The legal ramifications are nothing to lose their heads over. I still think Ted's family are pretty headstrong to make these decisions concerning his remains.

Mason jar. Clearly you've never watched Futurama.

Here's some pictures from inside the place...

Has any of these geniuses considered the fact that freezing water causes it to expand? And that expansion destroys any cell that it's in?

But hey, it's their money. I'm sure 500 years from now, scientists are still going to look at this and say "WTF???"

[TIMMAH]

What do they think scientists will be able to do with just a head in the future? Is this futurama?
