   	Teleports is the only coherent explanation, really.  The doom   
   of the transportation-based industries will follow, but then what   
   industries aren't doomed these days anyway?

   	It's a mystery to me, and equally mysterious that if I'm not   
   mistaken Letterman's Friday shows are also taped on Mondays.  (Thus   
   the quips about the last audience that was in here and whatnot.)   
      
   	It would seem to me that the longer a show is left in the bank,   
   even if it's just from Tuesday to Thursday, the greater the chance that   
   something which must be edited out because of developing news.  But then   
   the point, I assume, of pretaping Thursday's show is that they can leave   
   after Wednesday's taping for whatever it is they're up to all weekend,   
   and so they want to tape that as soon as possible.  Running the second   
   Tuesday show on Wednesday and then the Wednesday-taped show on Thursday   
   means you have to have two days's shows that don't *quite* touch on the   
   daily news too urgently, rather than one.   
      
   	It's still weird.
