You know you\'re obsessed with lasers when...

You know you're obsessed with lasers when...
~~> You always feel the need to mod/or get a better laser pointer
~~> When someone shines their laser, you instantly try to determine their laser's mW
~~> Your homepage is the laser forum at candlepower
~~> You have blinded yourself countlessly on accident by reflection
~~> You memorize all the different wavelengths for the different colors
~~> You spend 5hours trying to find the best mW for your buck
~~> Your neighbors complain that weird stuff happens at night
~~> You're reading this and feel amused

ehh, I'm tired. someone take over /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

~You can't resist explaining the features of your prof's pointer to him/her
~You throw out pack after pack of new black garbage bags and have to remember to buy white ones to throw them out in.
~You notice peoples' pens.
~You turn on flashlights with your eyes closed.
~Pointing with your finger is somehow frustrating.
~You have a box of pointers that don't work.
~FEDs make you nervous.
~You're nolonger afraid of the dark, and can't wait for nightime.
~Your friends express concern that you spend long periods of time alone in dark rooms.
