The article, a little light on details, says that the beam could be as big around as a basketball hoop."

But the real question..... by soulsteal · 2003-12-07 10:03 · Score: 1, Redundant

Did Lazlo figure out that this could be used as a weapon?

If so, was it figured out in enough time to provide for the evil Professor's house to be employed in a scheme to re-direct the beam AND make a bunch of popcorn for all the neighborhood children?
