If it's raining, our cat pokes his head out of the catflap in the back door, decides he doesn't like it, then walks through the house to the front door and yowls to be let out.
He seems to be annoyed at us that we've let it be raining on both sides of the house.
I know that dogs are stupider than cats, but with the bar set so low, dogs can't be far above the amoeba.

We have a rather smart Wolfhound. And an even smarter cat. And a dumber-than-a-box-of-rocks Labradoodle (an insult to boxes of rocks everywhere [He's my mom's dog]).

My dogs hate the rain as well. Except when there is a ball involved. Ball trumps rain any given day.

My cat doesn't have a catflap (since it was proficiently used by a variety of rodents and reptiles, ah the wonders of living in the countryside...) but asks insistently to be let in from one door and out from the opposite one - he hates to wet its paws on the grass when it's raining.
He's perfectly able to wait for 1 - 2 hours before taking the 'long' way around. I love that cat, just about as lazy as I am

Mine started to do the same thing about six or so months ago.
He has a cat flap at the back of the house (away from the road, this is meant to be a hint but it doesn't work with this one) so he yells at the front door, or bashes at my office window until I let him in, then stalks through the house and out the cat flap. Couple of minutes later, he's back at the window... 
I think it's more about establishing his position in the "pecking order" with me as low as he can shove.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Mine simply and idly waits - unless he knows for sure someone is in the house. I saw it waiting outside the fence that divides the garden from the woods for a whole 2 hours for someone to let him in - before jumping over it. Of course it didn't knew I was home, I had taken a day off...
Also if he knows someone is at home he yell to be brought down from a wall he is perfectly capable of climbing both up and down - he simply prefers to be carried when it is possbile.
I say, he's almost as lazy as I am

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

Yes, Captain. Very logical.

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

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

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

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

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.

Hmm. I once did an evening class in archery. I won a bottle of wine in an end of term tournament. That was shooting at a standard (large) target across a small school gym and the emphasis was on keeping everything as still and quiet as possible. When we moved outside, things got a lot harder with greater distances and wind to deal with. I don't think any of us would have troubled this chap. If he really is shooting an arrow through an incoming arrow, that is incredible.

According to Snopes[^] he really is.
So even if it is a bamboo arrow, doesn't change the fact that it's quite incredible as far as I'm concerned.

That's how I learned archery, when I was a kid -- pushed largely by believing that the comic character Hawkeye was doing it right.
We're talking the sixties and seventies, here. I ended up being unwelcome at archery ranges, because, even though my centre (bullseye) percentage was as high as if not higher than anyone else's, the numbers obviously "lied", because I didn't take twenty-seven minutes to line up a shot, and I didn't use all the latest (utterly useless) bow modifications.
The bow is a fantastic tool. It's like mobile joint between your arms. All you have to do is practice using it as it wants to be used, and you'll do amazing things. But, the same as with anything else, people who dedicate huge amounts of time in learning how to use it "according to processes" (translation: "badly") tend to be very nasty to people who can see the obvious -- in this case, how to send arrows where they really want to go.
It's like everything else: if you practice doing anything as if you were incapable of thought and movement, the result will be cr@p; but if you practice being brilliant, you'll end up being brilliant. That's why organisations that are totally process-centric end up as lumps of rock.
