That is just Neopet's idea of a joke. I got that once and it worried me too
and then I realized they couldn't possibly be serious.

Wow, that surely is NOT amusing to me! The message didn't even have a

joke, but I've been browsing Neopets sites and groups, and keep reading
horror stories about people being innocently frozen.

Thanks for the replies,
