Dear Lord, They've Invented a Lightsaber

No, not actually a lightsaber, as the beam of super-hot death-light doesn't actually return to the hilt, but for $197.97, you can purchase your very-own hand-held portable laser which has enough power to instantly blind and burn through skin. Youtube in fact is filled with demonstrative videos. You hear me? For less than the price of a PS3, you can buy a potentially-fatal laser which emanates from a device which looks so similar to an actual lightsaber handle that Lucasfilm is threatening a lawsuit.

The company's website, down at the time of this posting, wickedlasers.com, dedicates an entire paragraph to the various things you should never do with this laser, including operating it without proper eye-wear or aiming it at anything either flammable or possessing nerve-endings. What I find fishy is that the site makes no mention as to what you should use the laser for. Cats of the world, consider yourselves forewarned.

PS: The laser in the video, you will note, is not the Wicked Laser Spyder III Arctic Pro, but rather a homemade version with double the reported power of the Spyder III. So we can all rest easy there-- it will take five seconds for the Spyder III to burn through a CD case, instead of about two, and only slightly longer than instantly to set fire to a match. Whew!
