Luigi Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 [quote name='jaime (the artist formerly known as hot stuff)' timestamp='1306473112' post='2246611'] I find myself watching your avatar for long periods of time [/quote] RILL-y? You rilly should seek psychiatric help ASAP. I rilly can't stand that stupid avatar - it makes my eyes flutter and my skin crawl. I've trained myself to see it coming as I scroll down the page, just waiting for that annoying, awkward, uncontrolled, frenetic motion to appear in the lower left corner of my screen, then I scroll past it real fast trying not to look. If I want to read what xSilver has to say, I try to find him quoted in somebody else post, becasue - THANKS BE TO GOD AND ALL HIS SAINTS - the stupid, annoying, awkward, clumsy, uncontrolled, frenetic monstrosity doesn't show up in quotes. If you find yourself watching his avatar for long periods of time... I mean rilly.... ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Red Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 [quote name='goldenchild17' timestamp='1306471550' post='2246578'] srsly but no for really and truly teleportation is the way to travel. Though being flicked from the breakfast spoon of a giant might be fun. [/quote] flying! as in the superpower and not just an airplane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I heard some physicists on Science Friday on NPR on afternoon. They were talking about ideas generated by science fiction and whether we had the technology these days to make it so. The host asked about transporters. The scientist said, rilly seriously, "We're about halfway to being able to do that." The host got all excited, started hyperventilating and stuttering to ask follow-up questions, and finally gasps out, "Well where are we in the process?" The physcist says, "We can effectively take you apart. We're still working on how to put you back together in a new location." Some scientists do have a sense of humor. But it's almost as rare as in theologians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did it at least four times in some debate thread the other day. [i]blah, blah, etcetera. AND I AM DONE TALKING TO YOU!!! YOU LOSE! GOOD DAY SIR! LAST POST EVARR![/i] Then they post some annoying little response. [i]Cr[s][/s]ap, I can't let that go.. Must interject. The last word is MINE!... But I said I was done...

BG45 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Both powers have their strong points. Flying would be really cool, because you could feel the wind rushing around you, and see such wonderful things beneath and around you as you went. However once you reached a certain altitude the cold and lack of oxygen would be a real killer. Teleportation meanwhile is instant transportation anywhere. Although, do you still have a soul afterward? I always wondered this on Star Trek as the entire body is dematerialized and rematerialized via scientific means; does the transporter really capture a human soul, or does it just kill you and make a new you? This is brought into question by Thomas Riker, William Riker's exact duplicate via a transporter accident in one episode of TNG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luigi Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 It [i]can't[/i] steal your soul! Your guardian angel is always with you, but has no physical being. So when you get dematerialized, your guardian angel sort of hovers over all the parts at once - including your soul - and accompanies you on your little trip, and then you're back to your normal self - body and soul and everything - and then you just go on your way! Simple! But flying - right, I hate it when I lack oxygen, and then there's the cold to deal with at a certain altitude, but you haven't even mentioned getting stuff in your eyes, or having to contend with geese and turkey vultures. And I do like the feel of the wind blowing in my hair, but like if I drive 60 with the windows open, my hair's always tangled up rilly bad by the time I get there, and that would have to be worse if I were flying. And stop and think about it - did you EVER see Captain Kirk comb his hair after being rematerialized? No. Teleportation wins. Hands down. No doubt.
