How to make a laser pointer

No one on Earth was recorded as having been hurt by any laser pointer.

WRONG

I climbed into the car with one in my back pocket which broke and I cut the ass of myself :lol:

One of the worst electric shocks I ever got was from a laser. Granted it was one that was in the skip at the physics black in UCD. And I got the shock from the glass tube not a metal bit. Granted lasers from the physics department are not quite normal laser pointers...
