I noticed the laser light sparkles, it's really apparent if you shine it at something that difuses the light, like some semi clear plastic, or cloudy water. The light has a quality to it i've never seen anywhere else. It sparkles. I'm just wondering if anyone knows why? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2005:site.16550 Sun, 20 Mar 2005 08:40:05 -0800 frickin' heads lasers sharks joelf
