I assumed there was a bathroom in the Holideck and it just vaporised his waist.

I was under the impression that body waist was converted to energy, and then the molecules where re-arranged and converted into new useful things.

You know, converted into all those replicated hot fudge sundaes Deanna Troi loves to eat.

Was that idea ever mentioned before that one episode of Enterprise? I am not saying you are wrong or it wasn't I just can't remember that idea ever being brought up before and I am pretty sure I would have remembered something like that if I had heard it mentioned on the show when i was a kid.

I think it may have been talked about in one of the Technical Manuals or other official reference books from the 70's or 80's. I'll need to dig around my storage shed to find it.

Ah that explains it. Those books were written before I was born and I guess they wee never in any of my libraries so I never read them.
