Correct, as far as I know. Note that the “idea” did not mention that the dog was to be cryogenized using the poisonous stuff we have right now. (I.e., one “solution”, or part of it, might be to invent a non-poisonous anti-crystal substance or procedure.)
Anyway, the point of my “suggestion” was not that this would be some kind of “least impossible” idea, nor necessarily the most useful one. I’m not sure if you noticed, but I entered several proposals, all of which are very unoriginal. Although they are serious suggestions in the spirit of the post, I picked those in particular as a kind of humorous comment to the five-step outline of the post: All three “ideas” have in fact been discussed… often… around here, and pretty popular in theory. The “comment” is that finding worthy impossible things to do is trivial, and putting that as the first two steps in a five-step list of “how to do the impossible” is somewhat silly, kind of an excuse not to reach the hard steps. (Humorously enough, one of the ideas is “Do everything on the final list that gets more than 10 upvotes”; as far as I can tell, nothing got 10 votes.)
