Send Morse Code Over Stockholm By Laser
bigmac writes "KTH, Royal Institute of technology is celebrating 175 year anniv by making a very spectacular laser show. A green laser sent from the bottom of an old reactor building 30 meters below ground. The beam is then reflected over the city from the schools clock tower.
And yes, you can send your own laser-morse messages through their homepage!" Here's an image to chew on.
I wonder if echelon will be monitoring these transmissions... because we all know this is what the terrorists of the future will be using..
Remind me not peer out the window next time I fly into Stickholm.
After learning morsecode in the Navy, four of my friends and I had a lesson in how to behave in front of women. Beer had caused an unusually deep load displacement, and we sat in a train compartment and morsed whatever dirty words or sentences we could come up with.
.... ..- -. -.. . -.
Five drunken sailors and a young attractive(at least she seamed so, at that time) girl, gave us five hours of fun morsetraining. At her stop I found it appropriate to excuse for our childish behaviour - She replied that she had enjoyed our show, and as an old girl scout she had brushed up her morse code.
Sending morsecode in trains have never been the same after that:)
Warning: Do not look directly at laser with remaining good eye.
Some joyriding alien passing by Sol is going to pick up "All your base are belong to us" sent by some trite geek and thus begins the first interstellar war.
Jesus saves....And takes 1/2 damage.
