    How did we all miss this? OK, it's not really a transporter but it's better than transferring information about a quantum state Linky[^]

      Yes, Captain. Very logical. ... Until you consider that the Internet only works because it can re-retrieve the dual-digit-percentage of packets it loses. Who needs two legs, anyway? If you've got one, the other one's redundant, no?

        So long as you know it's gone, you could just run off a mirror image of whichever one's left. That's probably why we've evolved to have bilateral symmetry

          I had a friend whose girlfriend did this to him, wasn't a pretty sight...I don't think he called it teleportation though? :)

            True. It works for jpegs, so why not for mere mortals?

                But what happens if you don't destroy the original? Something like this perhaps? http://i.ytimg.com/vi/HLITQXRH70M/hqdefault.jpg[^]

                How do you know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.

                  Excellent! I once read a novel about a Victorian stage magician who had a special vanishing cabinet that effectively cloned him every time he used it. It ended with his rival finding a warehouse of imprisoned copies of him.

                    Sounds a lot like the film "The Prestige" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0482571/[^]
