Yeah. Someone else has done all the hard work. All I wanted was for you to set the refresh rate to zero, turn the thing around 180 degrees, and mount the frickin' thing on a shark. Is that too much to ask?

For the last couple of years, there's been lots in the press about the dangers of driving while talking on a cellphone, and how that distraction is a major cause of car accidents.
I can see the headlines now:

But will they realize when they've stopped playing and re-entered the real world? As I'm walking down the street, will some teenager try to cast a fireball at me or chop my head off with his zirkonium katana of +5 damage?
This is great. Now the blond bimbo driving 80 mph next to on the instertate will not only be trying to sip her diet coke and apply makeup, but will be watching the Bon-Marche's sale scroller instead of the road. I can't wait!

...but it'll be way better when I can get laser beams to come out of my eyes.
Am I the only one who thinks the image of the device looks suspiciously like the Dragon Ball Z scouter device used by the Saiyans?
Yeah... laser light in the eye, chronic masturbation... it's easy to get those two mixed up.

You mean the light comes into the eye, gets focussed by the cornea and lens, and forms an image on the retina? Wow, that's a new way of seeing things.
