The strictly conceptual Aurora Watch was designed by Jihun Yeom and looks like a watch with no face. Actually, it looks like a portal to your arm hair. But when you tap it, oh boy, when you tap it . LASER BEAMS!! There’s more of a transparent face with no signs of the hour or minutes hand. It’s not as if the designer forgot to put them there, he just got innovative and decided to perk up this analog piece by including funky laser light beams for the hands. The red beam indicates the minutes and the blue depicts the hour. They appear only when you tap the bevel edge around the watch ring; until then it’s just a hip jewelry around your wrist. Now listen: I love lasers as much as the next guy who can shoot them out of his eyes/pants, but don’t tease me with a laser watch unless you can actually make one. It ain’t fair! Like showing your dog bacon, then sprinkling the bastard with catnip and meowing at him. A Watch With No Face [yankodesign] Thanks to Drewblu, Laurent and EclecticEgo, who don’t need lasers to tell time, just somebody else with a watch.

This is Saturday Night Live’s latest ‘Laser Cats’ short that aired on this weekend’s program. And, unlike most of the stuff SNL has produced in recent history, it didn’t make me cringe and wonder how the hell the skit ever got approved. I believe a congratulations are in order. And by congratulations I mean a new writing team. Call me, I’m available. I also do bachelor parties. Youtube Thanks to david, Kelly and lil co. & co., who wage wars the old fashioned way: with laser hamsters. *pew pew* OMG THOSE WERE THE CUTEST LIL PEWS!

Philly.com recently sent questionnaires to parents and teachers asking their children (13 and under) what they think the world we be like in 10 years. These are some of the answers. And as you will see, some of these cats really know what’s up. Okay, which one of you has the time machine?! I think all of the animals will be dead in 10 years because America is polluting too much. People who aren’t married won’t have dogs, cats, fish, or any other type of house animal. Lexi Schommer, 8 Penn Valley People will be friendlier because they can talk to each other on more than one phone. Morgen Zighelboim, 5 Huntingdon Valley Robots will take over the world. They will have lasers. Jacob Eiseman, 9 Penn Valley In a decade I think that the time machine will be invented. Maybe somebody will make a new ice cream flavor and the government will find a way to stop pollution. They will also make a machine to control the seasons. After, there would be a candy that makes you shrink. Astronauts would land on Mars and explorers would find new types of fish. They would also discover a new Arctic animal and a new island. Guille Ribeiro-Vecino, 8 Wynnewood Everybody will have a jet pack. Dylan Marcus, 7 Cherry Hill There may not be any blue sky. Annie Lindner, 11 Haverford We will live in a world of pure luxury with computers that are programmed by a human’s thoughts. We will have no racism, no crime, no need for anyone to take people to court, no need for divorce. There would be no end to happiness. The poor would be welcomed into newly built houses without hesitation. Rich people would donate to every charity known. We would find a cure for every disease. Summer Lynch, 11 Malvern Oh Summer, Summer, Summer. You are in for a real treat. Oh — and whatever you do, DON’T WATCH AVATAR . Decade in Preview: The Youthful Vision [philly] (with seven pages of responses, so click it to read a ton more) Thanks to Joe, who agrees little Jacob Eiseman might just be a seer.

Okay so maybe the asteroid isn’t actually earth bound, but it could be. You see, nobody can agree on how serious a threat the rock poses. I say laser the shit out of it. Then laser all the little pieces. Then blast me in the eyes. If I can’t see the end of the world I don’t wanna see anything! Russia’s space agency chief said Wednesday a spacecraft may be dispatched to knock a large asteroid off course and reduce the chances of earth impact, even though U.S. scientists say such a scenario is unlikely. When the 270-meter (885-foot) asteroid was first discovered in 2004, astronomers estimated its chances of smashing into Earth in its first flyby, in 2029, at 1-in-37. Further studies have ruled out the possibility of an impact in 2029, when the asteroid is expected to come no closer than 18,300 miles (29,450 kilometers) from Earth’s surface, but they indicated a small possibility of a hit on subsequent encounters. NASA had put the chances that Apophis could hit Earth in 2036 as 1-in-45,000. In October, after researchers recalculated the asteroid’s path, the agency changed its estimate to 1-in-250,000. What is this, football? Why do the odds keep changing? Because this shit’s all fun and games until the day the asteroid’s supposed to hit and the odds drop to 1-in-0.5. Then what? We all bone till we burn up, that’s what. *high-five* Going out like the dinosaurs! Russia may send spacecraft to knock away asteroid [yahoonews]

Yay, two laser posts in a row! The $17 FroliCat BOLT is an award winning laser lightshow for cats with owners who are too lazy to wave a laser pointer around or have lost the use of their limbs. Simply turn it on and projects a red dot and moves it in random patterns for 15 minutes, or until your cat (or dog, or baby) realizes what’s going on and attacks the gadget itself. You know why cats love lasers so much? Because they’re from the future. Plus it has something to do with their nightvision. No, really, I’m not just making this up. I took a correspondence college course in beertasting science. I wore a lab coat and everything. Video of the POS in action after the jump.

Laser Crosswalks are the crosswalks of the future . You can tell because it has ‘ laser ‘ in the name. Pretty much anything with ‘ laser ‘ in it is gonna be a huge hit in the future (including cereal ). Don’t believe me? Just stare at this laser eye-toy for a minute. Aaaaand now you’re blind. The Virtual Wall is designed as a replacement for traffic lights and if made would use “plasma laser beams” to project silhouettes of moving people into the path of oncoming traffic. Supposedly this would calm traffic and make drivers more careful around the soft humans as they cross the street. I’d say it would be more likely that the appearance of giant red figures before the windshield would cause panic, crashing and general mayhem. Hell yes, giant red laser-people. *pew pew* means walk! Plus, if you try driving through it the lasers should cut you up into little pieces. Don’t act like we don’t have that technology! We have that technology. Laser Wall Replaces Traffic Light [wired] Thanks to Fnahra tha evur livin, who loves lasers almost as much as I do but not quite because I have laser-vision. Yeah, so there , Fnahra.

Remember the video of the world’s drunkest/crunkest/least stand-uppiest man trying to score some beer from the convenience store ? Well it turns out he was battling a previously unseen wizard trying to prevent him from drinking and walking. This security footage, enhanced with technology so advanced you wouldn’t be able to comprehend it, explains it all. Even better than Clarissa, AND THAT BITCH KNEW EVERYTHING. Youtube Thanks to naas and matt, who are always smart enough to don their anti-invisible wizard capes when venturing out for more brewhaha.

This is a photo taken by Flickr user Meow Cely of a girl with ‘pew pew’ tattooed across her fingers . I must admit, I admire her dedication to the pews. You don’t see me rocking any pew-y ink (except in THIS post), and I’m one of the the laser blaster’s biggest proponents. Funny story: I went to a gun and knife show a few weeks ago and demanded my entrance fee be returned when I found out there weren’t any laser guns. Also, I accidentally cut myself with a bowie knife and tried to play it off like I’d been stabbed. Flickr via (Geek) Thug Life!: Pew Pew Tattoo [greatwhitesnark]

Kellogg’s plans to begin laser-burning the signature Kellogg’s emblem onto random corn flakes so you know you’re getting the real deal. Pfft, what a waste of a perfectly good laser . Kellogg’s embarked on the project to reinforce that they don’t make cereals for any other companies and to fire a shot across the bows of makers of ‘fake flakes’. Helen Lyons, lead food technologist at the company, said: ‘In recent years there has been an increase in the number of own brands trying to capitalise on the popularity of Kellogg’s corn flakes. ‘We want shoppers to be under absolutely no illusion that Kellogg’s does not make cereal for anyone else. First of all, I’d like to point out that, unlike Helen Lyons, I would make a great food technologist. I don’t even know what that is, but if it involves cereal and lasers I AM THE MAN FOR THE JOB. As a matter of fact, I just invented a new cereal just thinking about it. They’re called Laser Flakes, and they’re jam-packed with real bits of blinding laserbeams. Marshmallows? Hell no — try cut up circuit boards . NOW WHO’S THE FOOD TECHNOLOGIST?! Kellogg’s will use laser to burn logo on to individual corn flakes to stamp out fakes [dailymail] Thanks to SONJEETA, who doesn’t eat cold cereal because her refrigerator broke and the milk spoiled. I like milk chunks!
