What the hell is meant by the line: "I am a meat popsicle."?

Argh. I haven't seen the movie in a few years.
It was either because he'd just been frozen, or because he'd been stuck in the refrigerator or something along those lines.

The police are on a security check of the building actually looking for him. When they ask him if he is human.
Cop "Sir are you classified as human?" Korbin "Uh negative I'm a meat popsicle."
I have never really tried to figure out the meaning of it. I'd have to say it is in there simply because it sounds funny.

It's a Sci-Fi fantasy film directed by a Frenchman, made in London and has an American as it's male lead. Be grateful that it makes as much sense as it does.

Could it be a little sexual innuendo?

Isn't he sarcastic because the cop shouldn't have to state that he's human, it's kind of self-explanatory (they're both).
I have another question: In "Fifth Element" when Gary Oldman's bad guy gets a transmission from some dark, commanding voice telling him to do this and that, whose voice is that? Who is Oldman "working" for, and what the hell is that liquid dripping down on Oldman's head? It's not blood, it's brown and oily transparent, like motor oil. And where's it coming from???
What is that brown lava-planet in the beginning that grows with anger? I understand its the enemy, but what is it?
Also, they rebuilt Leeloo from a disembodied hand. Was the hand taken from a canister in the ship debris, or from one of them giant Armadillo-gorilla suits? Proving that all the giant space-armadillo/gorillas are humans?

The big lava planet is the embodiment of pure evil. That is who Zorg's boss is. Presumably, the stuff coming from his head is supposed to be blood.
At the start of the movie, the Mondoshawans take the fifth element away from Earth. Presumably, this is Leeloo and what she was rebuilt from.

Actually I'm going to have to say that the liquid is a physical representation of the evil in a person and that the Dark Planet when it extends its influence to you it forces the evil to the surface.
Atleast that is always how I looked at it.

That's a pretty deep way of looking at it...

He did sound nauseatingly euphoric during the exchange, like perhaps he should fondle himself a bit, to boot.
