When I was in college, I took a laser from the EE lab. i put saran wrap over the top of my Bose 501 speaker and taped a little mirror on it.

We aimed the laser at it. WE watched all the amazing light patterns it made on the wall to a Joe Walsh CD for hours.

It makes no light? sure. This one did. a laser pointer makes no light either right?

I do question the illustrations above though.

Well, yes. A laser does emit radiation that, if in the visible spectrum, will show up as a dot on a wall or whatever. I was referring to the beam itself, as was seen in that Star Trek posting.

Maybe they do exist. I am not an expert on all types of lasers. But I have never worked with a laboratory laser where the beam itself was visible without putting some sort of scattering material in it.

Did it tear out the walls?
Did it have accountants pay for it all?
Did it show clues at the scene of the crime?
Did it do 185?
Or did it just get a limo and ride in the back?
Did it lock the doors in case it's attacked?
If you leave a message, did it call?
Did go to parties until four?
Could it find the door?
