Lunar Lasers
Two different articles about building lasers (well, lasers and a maser perhaps) on the moon. Reuters has a story about a potential lunar power plant, creating electricity with solar panels and beaming it to Earth with microwaves. Space.com has a piece about building a sort of super-sized Star Wars program on the Moon, giant lasers set up to blast incoming space debris and not, of course, anyone here on Earth.
i saw this in highlander 2 i think. it didn't work out too good.

...a strange social experiment by the /. team to see how many people will come up with the same joke in a given period of time?
Hmmm...
How you see the world is how the world sees you.
Yeah, only jocks discuss lasers on the moon. Us nerds should stick to talking about football and women and beer.

These are my friends, See how they glisten. See this one shine, how he smiles in the light.

Aluminum Hats a no longer for wackos

Forget four poster bed sleep in a faraday cage
Metal Orthadonics fall out of favor
Peeps rise up from their cellophane prisons and attack their masters
Floresencet Lights no longer need to be connected to the power grid
Just because we can does not make it a good idea.

Oh, I just realized how US-centric my post is. For everybody out there with a world map instead of a US map, 40000 square miles is about the size of Montenegro.
I read the internet for the articles.
