Like traveling between universes through an artificially generated wormhole is just another day at the office, but ghosts? That's just ridiculous, man!
One that always gives me a chuckle, though, is when characters engaged in a close quarters gunfight dive behind something that is clearly not bulletproof for cover, yet it somehow stops bullets. Where, exactly, does one go to buy a kevlar sofa, anyway?
