The Association for Applied & Therapeutic Humor
Our mission is to advance the understanding and application of humor, laughter, and play. Therapeutic humor is defined to be: any intervention that promotes health and wellness by stimulating a playful discovery, expression, or appreciation of the absurdity or incongruity of life's situations. This intervention may enhance work performance, support learning, improve health, or be used as a complementary treatment of illness to facilitate healing or coping, whether physical, emotional, cognitive, social, or spiritual.

Universal Cryonics Society
A bunch of goofy Scots who claim to have been doing cryonics for over 100 years, not to mention their office on the planet Mars. Agatha McNaughton, Technical Sales Director, is worth a look.
