Interesting that the article does not even mention laser weapons.

Dr. Evil: "Okay no problem. Here's my second plan. Back in the 60's, I had a weather changing machine that was, in essence, a sophisticated heat beam which we called a "laser." Using these "lasers," we punch a hole in the protective layer around the Earth, which we scientists call the "Ozone Layer." Slowly but surely, ultraviolet rays would pour in, increasing the risk of skin cancer. That is unless the world pays us a hefty ransom."

"You know, I have one simple request. And that is to have sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads! Now evidently my cycloptic colleague informs me that that cannot be done. Ah, would you remind me what I pay you people for, honestly? Throw me a bone here! What do we have?"

In 1985, I visited a display of holograms of artifacts from the Soviet Union in a London museum. A sign at the entrance noted that the laser was invented by Soviet scientists in 1958.

Talk about a sucker play. Don’t turn and look, you’ll be blinded.

Lasers. I thought the thread was about losers. I was going to suggest Michael Dukakis.
