Frak Yes, Maim Yourself With A Real Life Lightsaber!
Ohhh fucking shit! I got midichlorians coming out of the fucking ass, and I’m ready to rock! A real life lightsaber? With the ability to blind and kill my friends in hot pursuit of amazing Darwin awards? Let’s fucking do this!

Built with the blue-laser diode of a dismantled Casio projector, the $200 Spyder III Pro Arctic is the world’s most powerful portable laser. It can permanently blind you and set your skin–or anything else, really–on fire almost instantly.
“With greater power comes the need for greater responsibility.” That’s actually what Wicked Lasers, the mad geniuses behind the Spyder III, wrote to us in an email describing this terrifying piece of technology. They wanted to make one thing very clear: this is not merely a laser pointer, and it’s certainly not a toy. What it is, really, is a weapon.
The diodes in Casio’s new mercury-free Green Slim projectors apparently allow for unprecedentedly powerful portable lasers, and Wicked Lasers has gleefully harvested them for the 1 Watt Spyder III. Comparing it to the $2000 Sonar, the company’s reigning portable laser powerhouse, Wicked Lasers explains that the blue Spyder III laser is 2000 times brighter to the human eye, and, at $200, 1/10th the price.
Grab a couple of pairs, reenact the Empire Strikes Back duel, and leave your friend in the hospital! It sounds like prime local television news fodder! Maim the force me with you!
