Business card for physical immortality

OFF TOPIC

Goal:
Design a business card that gives some information about the project and gets people to contact me

I'm a research scientist that has had success in some areas:
diabetes(type II)
gout
high blood pressure
math instructional systems
etc.

All of the previous research I've done has entailed relatively few subjects(math was about 80 students) and me as the primary researcher.

PROJECT
I would like to discover the possible paths to physical immortality and determine the significant factors for each path.

This project will require more time, insight, and money than I currently have access to.

More people are needed for two reasons:
1) To do tasks which require time, expertise, or insight

2) Funding

Phase I
Determine the likely paths and associated critical success factors (assumptions, rate of development, cycle time, etc.)

Phase II
Conduct a series of experiments progressing down the paths demonstrating the greatest likelihood of success.

As a first step and to get an idea of how to effectively communicate this project, what would you put on a business card?

  Nah, that's a horribly designed business card in just about every way... and he's cocky about his ugly, ****ty business card too which is even more comical to me. :p

Here is my first attempt:

You have a choice

(A) Get sick, old, and die

(B) Have a small chance to live forever

If you want to help scientific discovery through actions or funding, contact me.

Perhaps if you found something witty, intriguing or even a play on words may get better results for you.

I don't want even a small chance to live forever and getting sick is something I've been working on eliminating.
I'd rather continue on my current path then be a lab rat for a stranger on the Internet.

IMMORTALITY
Don't Just Think About It
You Can Make It Happen

The rest of the stuff goes on the back...

"There is absolutely no inevitability as long as there is a willingness to contemplate what is happening.”
― Marshall McLuhan

Of course, it should be made out of Iridium: It is known to be very corrosion-resistant - and immortal cards have to last a long time...:rolleyes:

Thanks, I will make a physical variation based on that.

Are you ready for immortality?

Ya know - this immortality thing might be a tad uncomfortable when humans are shoulder to shoulder on the planet and the sun decides to super-nova. Not sure that it would be all that great being an eternally frozen crispy critter?

All that isn't going to fit on a business card. You're gonna need a cover sheet.

  a cover sheet with directions on the back detailing how to fold it into a business card sized brochure (or maybe a crane?).

The ironic part of this, of course, is that whether he finishes the project or not, he is going to die.

I did like this one best though:

1895 "flying machines are impossible"

1943 "The sound barrier will never be broken"

1967 "Man will never reach the moon"

2012 "Physical immortality is impossible"

Do you want to help make the impossible possible?

Thanks

Just when you think you've got it all figured out, someone changes the rules.
