Laser pointer is to cat as gravity is to humananity?
So I was catching up on my LolCatz, when I saw this. I amused myself with a rambling thought of what the cats think of the dots, and how they would react if they ever figured out we were responsible for their creation. The cats attack the dots as if their lives depended on it, and we do it because it's funny to watch them.
Now that you're sitting there laser pointer in hand teasing your cat... stop. Look at that laser pointer (not directly though) Think about what it is. Do you realize the level of technology required to make it? The laser pointer is a combination of optics, physics, and chemistry, all refined into a small cylinder you can put on your keychain. The level of technology of a laser pointer to a cat, is like the level technology of a Jedi light saber to us, and we use it as a toy. Teehehee. This thought amuses me almost as much as the cats reactions, its just so absurd: Billions of dollars in R&D, Hundreds of thousands of man hours developing and refining this technology... to make a cat toy :)
Imagine if we meet aliens one day only to discover that gravity was just a joke they were playing on us all these years? :P
