See this could be advertised as a quick tanning perk and make a liability into a feature.

If you’re lounging by the pool you’re not gambling in the casinos and the casinos don’t like this.

If it is marketed as a tanning feature, Obama will slap a 10% tax on all hotel guests.

Reminded me of a copper clad convex awning I installed in downtown FW 15 years ago. It focused the sun such that it literally blistered the skin in a few seconds. We had to put up a plastic tarp hung on a boomlift to get some relief, but the sun reflected at the edges and caught the thing on fire! My first realization came as flaming drips of plastic fell on my back and head....

And the hotel could offer it a a service and not be liable to the special tax on tanning beds for obambacare.

I always marvel at this thing when I'm in Vegas. It just doesn't seem structurally possible.

May I suggest a pair of cheap sunglasses after that vegas all nighter..

Ah, the Texas sun. I lived in Dallas awhile... when I got there, I took the house plants out of the moving van first to get them out of the way. Put them on the back patio, went back to help with the unloading.

Later on, the truck finally pulls away, so I go to get the plants...

...they're toast.

Where are the pictures of the Vegas Bikini babes like we saw in “The Hangover”?

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Here I thought you were talking about a Venus-technique warped wavefront beam. Google it.

That must have been a sizable sheet to focus that amount of sunlight to where it blisters the skin that fast. Amazing.

You know, some window films actually reflect IR.

Ooops! ;)

A person struck by this Venus-technique warped wavefront beam has a sudden interruption of all control of his heartbeat, and so his heart goes into instant, uncontrolled, and violent fibrillation.
