Hehe. I remember when laser pens were a big fad a while back, and people
were calling for them to be banned. There was a big fuss made about it in
the newspapers and on the TV, so guess what one girl in the town I live in
did? Decided to test out whether it "Really Was True" that lasers could
damage your eyesight, by shining one into not one, but _both_ eyes,
blinding herself for about 48hrs. Well, duh... I guess it was true after
all ;)
