Remember when laser-pointers were, like, $99 (for a low-end model)? I just bought one at a drug store for $2.99. It's even got a built-in LED flashlight and ball-point.

Of course, the first thing I do with it is tease my cats and fire it across the street into the empty windows of a neighboring apartment building -- which immediately made me feel oddly guilty, like I'd been messing around with an actual weapon . . .

Yeah -- laser-pointers can register with the detection systems aboard military aircraft. I'm sure that somebody somewhere couldn't resist.

Someone ran a pointer across some local cops in a local restaurant.. They arrested him for ADW or disturbing the peace.

But, those things do make the best cat toys.
