"1023 watts per square centimeter" So someone has finally captured the energy of 10 Easy Bake Ovens and focused it into a laser. OK, can it be mounted on the head of a shark?

Wow, just over 10 100 watt lightbulbs of power per square centimeter. No wonder we had to ban those things...

If they get it to work, take a guess as to who will be the targets.
CHECK ALL THAT APPLY:
- Muslim Terrorists
- Bill O'Reilly
- Bitter Clingers
- The Tea Party
- WWII Veterans
- Obama's Al-Qaeda and Muslim Brotherhood Pals

I’m going to go out on a limb here and predict that it will emit less power than has been input into it.
