Yes indeed, with my find of a laser cat toy I think I have seen it all now! Have you guys heard of this cat toy with a laser? It is freaking hilarious! It's basically a toy that produces a laser beam that your cat chases all over the place. So instead of waving your laser pointer around and watching the cat chase it, this new toy will do the deal for you!I haven't gotten a laser cat toy yet, but

Did you know that every professional that uses a laser system in his practice is supposed to go through a laser safety training course? Yep, they are. From your laser hair removal specialist to your research scientist using lasers to split molecules, all of them should attend at least one laser safety training course.Section 5 of the American National Standard (ANSI) Z136.1

Why is it that men are into lasers? I'm sure there must be some woman out there that loves lasers like me, but I haven't found her. I can tell you that I have been trying to get my wife to at least enjoy lasers for a lot of years now, but I've had no luck. It just seems that for some reason men are into lasers, and women generally aren't.Let's take the classic Star Wars for example. If there ever

I am begging any of you that have tried laser hair removal to leave a review here. I have talked about the process a few times, but nothing is the same as someone that has actually been there and done that.

Now I've heard it all! My beautiful lasers are being used for weight loss? I didn't believe it when my friend from Georgia called me to say she's trying it, so I looked into this. It turns out that there really is a thing called laser weight loss! Actually it's a form of acupuncture for losing weight, but they use lasers instead of needles. Needles suck anyways, so maybe this would be the better

Are cold lasers a scam, or is a cold laser a miracle cure for a lot of ailments? I decided to do a quick cold laser review to determine if there is a cold laser scam going on, or if it's the real deal. To be honest, I haven't come to a full conclusion yet. I do promise that I will give a final report on this very soon. In the meantime, if you have any opinions to give on this subject from your

Have you tried laser tattoo removal? Does laser tattoo removal work, or is it a bad idea? I would really like to know the answer to this. Why? Because I have a really stupid old tat that I would love to have removed, and I would try this method if it really worked. Plus, I just love lasers! lolSo how do they remove tattoos with a laser?

Lasers are becoming common tools for surgeons, and no other sector of the medical industry shows this better than plastic surgery. Laser plastic surgery (plastic surgery using lasers) is almost the norm for so many different types of cosmetic operations. Let's look at a few of them.Laser Liposuction- We have already talked about laser lipo here (also called smart lipo). It basically removes body

The coolest laser light show that I have ever been to, by far, is the Pink Floyd laser light show. The whole thing is set to "The Wall" album, and it is just insanely good. If you want to feel like you are trippin', without going back to the 70's, this is THE laser light show to go to. Every pulse of the lasers brings you back to that magical time. Great stuff!

Have you ever heard of laser teeth whitening? I'm not talking about the teeth whitening that you pick up from the grocery store or pharmacist. Nope, this isn't the normal teeth whitening that your dentist does either. For me, this is something that is totally new and exciting! Did you know that dentists are now using lasers to whiten teeth?

Veterinary Surgical LasersHave you ever heard of veterinarians using surgical lasers? I didn't. I didn't even know that vets use lasers until yesterday. Just when I thought that I knew every use of lasers (like for hair growth, acne treatment, the military, cancer treatment, liposuction, and so much more), something new to me pops out and reminds me how little I know.

We wrote a little bit about this yesterday (see First Laser for that one), and we talked about so many of the amazing inventions that have come from that first laser.

First LaserThe first laser was created in 1960, before they really had any understanding of the first laser's potential uses in medicine, communications, entertainment, or other scientific endeavors. Of course the first laser has led to something that we use every day now. If you go shopping, lasers are used to register your goods at the checkout. If you like to talk on the telephone, you can

Cosmetic surgery using lasers always contains some element of risk, but when the operators of the lasers are untrained, that risk becomes almost a given.A cosmetic surgery clinic in Australia has come under attack recently for allowing its nurses to operate the lasers without any training. A complaining nurse admitted that she received no safety training, and she shut her eyes when the lasers

April 1, 2008 will be the date that goes down in history as the day that humans detected alien life. In a shocking press conference, NASA announced that the HUBBLE telescope has detected laser signals from a nearby star system (Alpha Prima).According to Dr. Schmitz at NASA, the lasers originated from a life form, rather than a natural occurrence, because the laser pulses were clearly a code.

We discussed how this comb that uses laser technology is designed to stop balding from progressing, and eventually lead to the regrowth of lost hair.

Ronald Reagan was right. The future of warfare is in space. The countries that control space will control the world.

Dermatologists have been using lasers for years now for scars, wrinkles, and several skin conditions. When it was shown that high doses of UV lights may lead to cancer, many doctors began looking to lasers for acne treatment.

I'm not a supporter of Obama, but the man does have a thing for lasers, and I can't argue with that. Obama recently released a list of "earmark" projects that he has slipped into spending bills, and lasers for the military are on his radar.Obama and friends locked up $1,950,000 for the U.S. military's Compact Tactical Laser program. If you're wondering what this is about, just imagine a science

If you know anything about this site, you realize that I am a fanatic about lasers, but how about laser hair removal? It sounds scary, doesn't it? It almost sounds as bad as laser eye surgery. Let's cut to the chase and figure out if laser hair removal hurts.I guess that we should go over the process of laser hair removal first. It was an experimental procedure for about 20 years before you

I have always been drawn to lasers, and what could be better than a hand held laser that you can use like a sword? Imagine what it must feel like to hold a laser weapon that was feared by everyone.When Star Wars IV came out in the '70's, I thought that the Jedi powers were cool, but nothing was better than the lightsaber. I wanted one so badly. I was just a little kid, but I just knew that I

I hate going to a doctor for anything, and laser eye surgery is no exception. Believe it or not though, laser eye surgery (aka LASIK) isn't really that bad. To make you feel a bit better about what's ahead, let's go over everything that will happen during your laser eye surgery:Your first step should always be to find an eye doctor that is licensed and highly regarded in performing eye surgeries

Have you ever wondered what the most powerful laser in the world is? I have. It appears that the most powerful laser is the "Petawatt" laser that was initially fired in Lawrence Livermore in 1996.The Petawatt created 10 to the 15th power watts of energy! That is 10 quadrillion watts (10,000,000,000,000,000 watts)! Placing that in perspective, the average light bulb uses 60 watts. Better yet,

Anyone that has lost a family member to cancer knows that the disease is nothing short of horrible. Thankfully, and perhaps miraculously, a new type of laser has been invented that may lead to the most dramatic and effective treatment of cancer ever.The University of Michigan has created a machine that emits a laser pulse that lasts for only one quadrillionth of a second (what scientists call a

The US Army has begun using lasers in Afghanistan. These lasers are not designed to blow things up, but rather to prevent accidents.A very serious problem for soldiers in Afghanistan is local drivers that collide with military convoys. Many of these locals are not used to sharing the road with large numbers of vehicles, and they often jeopardize soldiers by their slow and careless driving.To

Have you ever used a laser pointer? Sure you have, but have you ever used green laser pointers? Now we're talking! When compared to your traditional red ones, green laser pointers are insane!Your typical red pointer allows you to see the red dot on the object that the laser beam is directed towards. That's pretty cool, but you will soon realize how weak it is. A green laser pointer allows

You're sitting around the house. Bored to death. Nothing to do. So what do you do? Why not whip out your handy laser and have some fun? Here are ten things that you can do with your laser to pass the time:Bounce a laser beam off of the moon. The Apollo astronauts left some mirrors on the moon for scientific studies. Why not take advantage of that to measure the distance to the moon for
