Do you get to say "activate the laser" in a lame imitation of an Austin Powers movie? Knowing that would influence my answer.

I used to use a laser for uncaging compounds and I made my student say that all the time. I am lame.

Running.

Running. 40F is not really that cold.

Are you not to run with lasers?

Duh. Use laser to superheat the earth to a more temperate Fahrenheitage, then go running.

the laser is red.

DOES THIS AFFECT THE DECISION.

it is also capable of burning things, and there is a high voltage amplifier that i have shocked myself with once and got the twitchy arms but for serious.

Red lasers are pretty cool, but I think you should go running. It's only going to get colder. Well, until spring.

Besides, who wants twitchy arms? Not me.

And can you do both. For real, I too vote for the running. Then I will be jealous because I don't get to run outside for another few months.

Interesting. There's at least two MeFites/MeChazens who have lasers.

his amo lab is much tidier than mine. but at least i don't have to use dye lasers. we rock the ti-saph like true ballers do. i'm being groomed for laser-jockdom, i can tell already.

this is a terrible, terrible thing. you know how everyone alwasy wants you to fix their computer?
same thing.

when i get my camera back (loaned to loved one at moment) i shall take some pictures of the lab. everyone will be appalled by the messiness.

i don't usually run, but i'd run with lasers.
for office, not the office.

I second eth. Run with lasers in your pants and heat won't be a problem.

So? Which won out? Running (boo, exercise) or the laser (ultra sexy and very world-domination-ish)?

posted by LeeJay 09 December | 23:10

running won out. trust me, it's closer to world domination than anything in the lab.
