What's the difference?

They're green... you know... GREEN!
Isn't that enough for you?

the fact that they are green
makes them much more visible than the red ones because ...you can point at stars and basically have an anorexic light sabre of your very own....the more powerful ones can burn stuff too!! including retinas, blindness FTW!!

they were on the news this morning, weren't they
Some spastic in Manchester was sent to prison for shining one into the cockpit of a commercial aircraft "to see if it would reach", I believe.

Christ on a fucking bike.

well yeah
that would be pure folly, yet strangely compelling ;-)

shining it through crystals, diffraction gratings, mirrors etc, even get the smoke machine out for added laserlolz. it is my birthday soon and i want for nothing, so i am looking at stupid boys toys to fill the joy vacuum that old age has created

I meant, what's the difference between pointless gadgets and great fun?*

Chickenlady with lay-zorz.
Yep, my missus has got one too, they're perfect for winding cats up.

Minutes of fun can be had.

Cats love 'em

If you're rudely woken by a cat pouncing on your crotch
I think I know who's to blame.

I consider them the tools of the devil

The key-ring ones you have to hold the button in?
And the pen ones you can just press and it stays on?
Is that right?
I wanna get one for my cat but I can't be arsed with pressing and holding.

Meh
just get a piece of string and save yourself some money!! :D
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Tue 13 Oct 2009, 13:05, Reply)

you clearly haven't tormented a cat with a laser pointer
if you think string comes close to comparing.

you can make them spin round, do somersaults, jump on the crotches of the unsuspecting...

I don't like cats
They're minging. I was going to suggest she should sell the cat and buy something better, like Guitar Hero and an Xbox or oh I dunno a dog!
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Tue 13 Oct 2009, 13:16, Reply)

Better still
why not sell Dit and buy a PS3?
(Bazongaloid, Tue 13 Oct 2009, 13:17, Reply)

We already have one!
AHHHHHHH!
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Tue 13 Oct 2009, 13:18, Reply)

So why have you kept hold of DiT then?
Surely he's just cluttering the place up? Stick him on Gumtree, he'll be gone in no time.
(Bazongaloid, Tue 13 Oct 2009, 13:24, Reply)

I like having him around, he's nice...
Plus it gives me someone to beat at Peggle and watch Spaced with. :)

CAT HATER!

String? HA!
This is the future, string is yesterdays cat toy, Layzorz is where it's at. Just ask any of todays hip young felines..

Will a piece of string resemble a light sabre? No
Will a piece of string impress my mates? No
Will a piece of string point out a star? No
Will a laser be useful as a makeshift lace? No

I rest my case

I believe
their primary use is to point at things in the sky for the purpose of astronomy.

"What star?"
"That one there, let me get my stonking green laser out and point it out"
( sandettie light vessel automatic New Twitter - @bollocksreally, Tue 13 Oct 2009, 13:28, Reply)

exactly
How MANY times have you been caught short whilst stargazing, arms ACHING with all that pointing and thinking, 'if only i had a pocket sized device that could point right at that bloody constellation, giving the illusion of terminating directly at it with little or no confusion for the people for whom i am pointing for'?

You can buy 50mw+ ones off've BestOfferBuy.com that can set fire to chavs at sixty paces,
in daylight (despite what the blurb says) you can't see the beam. It's your own personal heat ray and they don't know why everytime they reach for a stone to throw their arses hurt. Maybe they're just secretly gay.

Nuff said.
