A co-worker of mine gave me this URL a while back and it gave me some good laughs. Thanks for posting this for all of us here.

Nice to see someone else enjoys a nice toasty bagel in the morning.

I am surprised we didn't see how to do buckwheats with a lightsaber.

Bonus points to anybody who cites that reference.
I am fluent in over six million forms of procrastination.

I've seen the pseudo-explanation for a lightsaber before... There are books that explain it...
“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Goering

That article was funny.

A close friend of mine works for a company that makes entry materials for the Police/Military, because of that he got an opportunity to go to an "Entry Expo/Convention" where he told me there was a lightsaber-eqsue entry tool they were showing off, along with a plethora of explosive devices and rams (the large warehouse was filled with cement and metal walls for the demonstrating of each of them).

It was essentially a rod (it was made of a material I am not familiar with) with a handle, attached by a hose to a special formula tank.

When activated, he said, it had a very luminescent glow and corona (the glow being the superheated gas and the corona the bar) similar to a lightsaber.

He told me that the guy demonstrating it sliced straight through a 3 inch steel rebar.

Am I the only one that found the bagel-slicing pic reminiscent of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (the movie)?

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.
