A Sydney man has just become the first Aussie to be frozen, with the hopes of being thawed out when technology to do so eventually catches up.

Today we speak to a man who freezes people for a living in the hopes someone will do the same service for him when the time comes.

Have you ever been typing out a word and all of the sudden it becomes completely foreign? Like it's gone... weird.
