  1. I’ve had panfish that came around after freezing on the ice while ice-fishing. Cleaning them in the basement and thawing for cleaning in a five gallon bucket of water when all of a sudden some start splashing and swimming around in the bucket.

    They might have tried that with him, but they would have needed a bigger bucket.

    …I’d always been taught the axiom “You’re not dead until you’re WARM and dead”, althogh I’m not sure that was meant to apply to decades.

    Still, dd they try? It would be an interesting experiment and its not like he’d be any deader at the end of it if it didn’t work out, so what the heck, good practice if nothing else, and ya never know…
