The Grand List of Overused Science Fiction Clichés

A friend sent me this list of "The Grand List of Overused Science Fiction Clichés"

It is not new but new to me. It is also rather long so, cut to the best part: "Section IV: Silly Science (clichés)"

Some samples:

* A robot or other AI speaks progressively more slowly as it shuts down from some malfunction.
* Don't know the code for the lock? Just shoot the keypad. The door will open.
* The artificial gravity is the last system of all to fail.
* A large dose of radiation results in super powers instead of super tumors.
