I think Ed McMahon is hiobernating right now. :spinny:

Edit: Now nobody will get it.

You mean "Hi-OOOO-bernating"

That's what I meant before Bos edited his thread title. :sad:

I'm doing it right now.

I wouldn't mind sleeping through the winter.

I'd be all for some form of selective, short-term hibernation. Like if my wife tells reminds me that we have to go to some function that I'm not wild about, I could quickly run upstairs, jump in bed and start hibernating. Probably get me out of a lot of stuff.

Same way with work. Miss a deadline? Go into hibernation for a couple weeks until the heat blows over.

You don't wake a hibernating guy.

Well if cryogenics ever takes over you could potentially sleep through decades. Sweet deal.

Charlton Heston tried that and ended up enslaved by a race of super intelligent monkeys. No thank you.

Phillip J. Fry did it and he ended up with an awesome Robot friend. So yes Thank You.

I absolutely could. As long as the TV stays on and I can have brief periods of semi-arousal in which I put my face in a pizza and bucket of beer. And of course with the clone cone machine mounted to my face.

you seem to like pizza on a different level than the average person. :wink:

Why don't you just develope "narcolepsy"?

Super intelligent? Hardly. They were living in adobe huts and riding horses around. Come on.:spinny:

I think the key to higher efficiency is hibernation/sleep for selective areas of your body. For instance while I'm sitting here in my office working (or reading CF), why can't I put the lower half of my body into sleep/hibernation mode. Then later I could jump on an exercise bike and get a work out in while the upper half sleeps.

Spening 7-8 hours a day sleeping is such a waste of time. Maybe meth is the answer, who needs teeth.
