laser comes from Lase, which is a town bordering the Sargasso Sea. It is populated with extremely intelligent men, whose brilliance and creativity is overshadowed only by their laziness.

They hate the people across the see who invented a machine how to make a beam of light with only a single value in the spectrum of that beam; or all photons resonating with the same frequency in each beam.

They called the inventors lazy, or even lazier than that. And their invention Lase, or even Laser than that.

The name stuck, for no particular reason or rhyme, other than for its non-sequitor humanness.

Furthermore.

They say great minds think alike, and small minds, too.

Greatness in intelligence possibly comes from speed of thought; the smart man thinks faster only than a not-so-smart man, but not in a superior way. The effect is that he is smarter.

If we could only put together men (and women) of the very same IQ in one room, and asked them all to think about one particular thing;

Then the thoughts they generate would be just as powerful, the insight they create would be just as blinding, as laser.

Mabbe.

sighhhhhhhhh

I miss smoking pot

I did too, until my wife had a baby and I learned how to roll the pot (or rather, what's put in the pot) into a piece of diaper and light it. You need laser to light it, though. Paper burns tough when it's wet.

Laser contrast what you see in the films is not a public light and in fact is invisible.

no light is visible until it shines on something
