Teens Injure Two Helicopter Pilots With Laser Pen... Lol

Imagine. Pointing a laser pen randomly into the sky at night.  The next day you are being charged for pointing a laser at an aircraft operator and find out that you caused the blood vessels in the left eyes of two pilots to rupture. What are the chances? lol.

Apparently," Hidlago Moreno, 19, and his 17-year-old friend were playing with a laser pointer at about 2 a.m. on New Year's Day, shining it into the sky.  Two pilots from the Collier County Sheriff's Office spotted the light while patrolling in their tactical helicopter 500 feet in the air.

The pilots were forced to return to their hangar, and each sought treatment at a local hospital for ruptured blood vessels in their left eyes. The police were able to track the lasers back to Hidalgo's home, and both teens were charged with pointing a laser at an aircraft operator, causing injury."

Wow. Wouldn't it take a while for the laser to damage your eyes? At least several seconds?  Why would the pilots even stare at the laser for such a long time - especially when flying... And both pilots?

What Are You Talking About??

If Pinochio says, "My nose will grow right now" then what happens?

I would really like to know myself, so if you have any ideas, please drop a comment below!

Oh, just a heads up, I'm sorry that Comfy and I haven't been able to post much the past month...its because the both of us have had problems with our computers (insanely annoying), but mostly because we're doing some internal restructuring and possibly merging with a blogging group/project :D So after a few weeks we should be up and posting again and you can enjoy all the random and somewhat scary stuff that I post xD Look forward to it!

Welcome to 2011! :)

Hey everyone, I just wanted to wish everyone a happy new year, and I really hope that you'll be able to fulfill all of your resolutions. What everyone thinks is that new years is the ONLY time you can change, but this isn't the case! Only you can dictate when you want to change, and you can do it anytime you wish. This is the only way our world is able to move forward: with change. So with that said, please try to always look to the future and don't dwindle in the past. Forget 2010, welcome to 2011!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! :D
