The recent drama over aiming lasers at airplanes is an excellent example of how idiots self-select. Do you really need to know much about the law or terrorism to figure out that aiming lasers at other people is dangerous, not to mention annoying? Everyone has had a class or been to a movie with one of those morons who thinks laser pointers are the height of humor, and every one of us has wanted to drop-kick the comedian right in the nuts.

I agree. But the green laser was a great teaching aid when leading group star hikes.
Oh and that guy, the best part was he turned around and blamed his 7 year old daughter.

I remember kids doing it with their watch when I was in undergrad. A big, round, white spot on the professor's face as he attempted to teach us about Ethnomethodoligcal theory and Garfinkel. Despite being as intelligent as tossing a spitball it did make me look up from my crossword long enough to snicker.
