What Could You Do With 120 Laser Pointers?

lazed-dazed asks: "I've recently come into possession of a large number (120 of 'em) of keychain laser pointers (minus the fancy diffraction adapters, though the specs are the same). So, Slashdot, I ask you: Can you give me any project ideas for these low-wattage bad boys? Holograms? Fancy cigarette lighters? Laser cannons? The crazier, the better! Oh, and don't bother suggesting cat toys."

Nope. It was 1 million dollars....later changed to 100 billion dollars.

DR. EVIL: Gentlemen, I have a plan. It's called blackmail. The Royal Family of Britain are the wealthiest landowners in the world. Either the Royal Family pays us an exorbitant amount of money, or we make it look like Prince Charles, the heir to the throne, has had an affair outside of marriage and, therefore, they would have to divorce.

There is an uncomfortable silence.

NUMBER TWO: Um, Dr. Evil, Prince Charles did have an affair. He admitted it, and they are now divorced, actually.

DR. EVIL: People have to tell me these things. I've been frozen for thirty years, throw me a bone here. (pausing) OK, no problem. Here's my second plan. Back in the Sixties I had a weather changing machine that was in essence a sophisticated heat beam which we called a "laser." Using this laser, we punch a hole in the protective layer around the Earth, which we scientists call the "Ozone Layer." Slowly but surely, ultraviolet rays would pour in, increasing the risk of skin cancer. That is, unless the world pays us a hefty ransom.

There is another uncomfortable silence.

NUMBER TWO: Umm, that also has already happened.

DR. EVIL: Right. (pause) Oh, hell, let's just do what we always do. Let's hijack some nuclear weapons and hold the world hostage. (pause) Gentlemen, it's come to my attention that a breakaway Russian Republic called Kreplachistan will be transferring a nuclear warhead to the United Nations in a few days. Here's the plan. We get the warhead, and we hold the world ransom...(dramatic pause)...FOR ONE MILLION DOLLARS!

There is an uncomfortable pause.

NUMBER TWO: Don't you think we should ask for more than a million dollars? A million dollars isn't that much money these days.

DR. EVIL: All right then...(dramatic pause)...FIVE MILLION DOLLARS!

There is another uncomfortable pause.

NUMBER TWO: Virtucon alone makes over nine billion dollars a year.

DR. EVIL: (pleasantly surprised) Oh, really? (slightly irritated) One-hundred billion dollars.

Later on...

INT. UN SECRET MEETING ROOM

REPRESENTATIVES of various countries in their traditional garb around a large UN-style meeting table. The BRITISH are dressed in bowler hats. The AMERICANS all look like JFK. The CANADIANS are dressed as Mounties. The ARABS are dressed in ceremonial robes, etc.

DR. EVIL: Gentlemen, my name is Dr. Evil.

They all look up at the SCREEN.

DR. EVIL: In a little while, you'll find out that the Kreplachistani warhead has gone missing. Well, it's in safe hands. If you want it back, you'll have to pay me...ONE MILLION DOLLARS!

The UN representatives are confused. Number Two COUGHS.

DR. EVIL: (frustrated) Sorry. ONE-HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS!

Why not use a Model M, the world's best keyboard? They're really easy to clean, too - take the keys off, put them in the silverware compartment of your dishwasher, remove the cable (if applicable), and throw the keyboard in the dishwasher.
