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.

    When the Jews return to Zion
    And a comet fills the sky
    And the Holy Roman Empire rises,
    Then you and I must die.

    From the eternal sea he rises,
    Creating armies on either shore,
    Turning man against his brother
    'Til man exists no more.
