Laser shark - not a video game

**plasty** · 05-04-12 at 07:11 AM

A shark with a laser attached to its fin swims towards the camera. A company called Wicked Lasers promised it would fulfil the Austin Powers character Dr Evil's request for "sharks with frickin' laser beams attached" if it got 2,000 Facebook 'Likes'. The company hired marine biologist Luke Tipple to carry out the task...

...These images, taken off the coast of the Bahamas at the end of April, show the results of his work. They show a lemon shark with a S3 Krypton green laser fitted to its fin using a non-invasive clamp applied by a diver.

hahaha :D quite funny.
Got a laser from them actually, was young and silly.
Still works, 6 or so years old it is.

Good at least to see a shark that still has fins.

**EvilToeKnee** · 05-04-12 at 10:21 AM

Did someone let the developer know Dr Evil isn't real?

**ItalicPixels** · 05-04-12 at 11:24 AM

Movies are real after all.

Love the first picture! The shark seems to have a wicked smile!

**BBlake** · 05-04-12 at 03:05 PM

Better not let PETA hear about this!

**Gandolph13** · 05-04-12 at 03:30 PM

Great, and this is legal?
Couldn't the shark blind a submarine pilot and cause a crash?

Yet I'm not allowed to use one for astronomy purposes to help locate items and guide a scope because I might point it into a pilots eyes and blind them causing, a crash. This despite me living in a no fly zone.
All because idiots in the city get off on trying to bring down planes with lasers, they can't afford boarding passes and box cutters
