It took you a while to get to your point

But I see it now

Careful! You Can Poke an Eye Out!

From a story in Popular Mechanics, here’s two pictures of the planet’s most powerful laser system.

They blow up stuff with them. Most of the time, it’s a BB sized shell filled with hydrogen.
192 lasers, all pointed at the same place at the same time.

Someone ought to carve something on the face of the Moon. That would be neat!!

Not Playing That Game


by Walt Posted on Apr 17, 2008 under American Idolize, Network Madness | 1 Comment

I didn’t see much of American Idol - the rejection version - last night, but caught only pieces in passing.

When I did manage to glimpse at the TV, I noticed the youngest contestant, David Archuleta, sitting in the middle of the stage. I only found out later that David wouldn’t play Ryan Seacrest’s game.

The game was to split the seven contestants into the top three and the bottom three, and then have David choose which group HE thought he was part of. David Archuleta  David has appeared to date to be rather innocent, and perhaps this was a way for him to either earn his halo or trade it in for a pair of horns, thus signifying the loss of his soul to the money machine that is the music industry…

When faced with the awful choice of pointing out the obvious lower quality threesome, David chose by not choosing. He sat in the middle of the stage and simply refused to play the awful game of pointing fingers at the less popular.

Kudos, kid.
