Hey, if you can transport people across space in a Star Trek transporter,
why can't you use Stuffit on a dogcow?  After all, Stuffit can reassemble
the creature in all of its original pattern (provided the pattern was
'stuffed' correctly).  What is really grody is trying to unstuff a dogcow
that was stuffed with the wrong settings...brrr...sends chills up and down
my spine just thinking about it!
