I like this one from The Mirror online....

STAR Trek-style teleportation may be years away but scientists have made a breakthrough in teleporting dead objects.

Advanced digital compression techniques and replicating molecular clusters have led to scientists at BTexact, BT's research arm, coming up with an unexpected future use for teleporting... the transportation of takeaway food.

A microwave-like device scans the meal (and in this case they're working with a curry shop) and sends the quantum information about it across the network to recreate it at the far end. More details of this are on www.btexact.com/curry
