Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation
Think how many times a day you are impacted by recently-departed-Gordon Gould’s invention, the L.A.S.E.R.
Grocery checkout, CD players, cordless mousii
, smart bombs
, redneck accoutrements
, municipal and state revenue generators
, surgical procedures
, and all things barcode
, oh the list goes on and on. Gould hung out in Breck
before the altitude got his emphysema; however, his invention helped get a 72 year-old man in a fair amount of trouble on the mountain. Irony
? We think not.
Gould didn’t get the Nobel Prize
. Life isn’t fair

and recorded by Johnny Cash
that centered on a candy store (today’s ODDassociation.) Click here
for answer.
Lasers are also used to remove tattoos, but we ODDones strongly recommend Turlington’s Lower Back Tattoo Remover
.
