Some things are just naturally funny…..Like that commercial for Chris Rock’s movie where he’s trying to show that a black man can’t get a Taxi in NYC. Of course he raises his hand and a Taxi screeches to a halt right next to him immediately…That’s just funny….It’s beautifully funny on both the simple level and more complex levels……But the upshot is that it really is just plain funny…..
Since transporters strip away and record every atom so their information can be transmitted to the receiver, anything undesirable can be filtered out. I’ve read stories where one of the benefits of teleportation is the elimination of disease. Those bacteria, viruses and cancer cells would simply be discarded. The downside is, you have to be killed, but an identical copy is created elsewhere. So is it you or….?

Seems space uniforms only come in two color combos. Red-yellow-black and teal-white-black.

It would be fun to see Mel’s atoms get mixed up with the critter in front of him.

That seventh guy in line better phone home. Looks like he’s gonna be delayed.

No one wants to teleport with the Insectoid for some reason.

No wonder ET needs to phone home – who knows where Dr Mel’s transporter’s gonna wind up…

Yeah, that’s what I said, although in more words.
