this has me thinking...
"Scotty has figured out a way to use tachyons to get a "copy" of Mr. Spock through the interference field surrounding Organia to inform the all-powerful beings who live there, but something has gone terribly wrong: There are now two Mr. Spocks. Eventually, one of them turns out to be an evil saboteur and has to be destroyed... but which one?"
Now if Cheney was sent through Scotty's hot-rodded transporter, would a good one come back with the bad? Which one would they pick to dispose of?

8. Say, why didn't you pick McCoy for your screen name instead of Spock? |
|
Your approach to debate and your online personality are much more like Bones than any stoic Vulcan.

9. Because in real life I am more like Spock |

...or Data. I am an Aspergers person who has spent a lot of his life taking crap too seriously & logically - I am not as serious any more, but I honor my past & my daughter has to deal with this issue as well...

3. Scotty's transporter did not take into account Cheney's antiquated pacemaker |
|
Which exploded and turned his shriveled heart to lasagna. Game over.

11. How about we use the transporter from 'Galaxy Quest?' |

You know, when they tried to transport that pig/warthog thing? And they transported it all right. Inside out. :evilgrin:
