Sorry if you got this message twice, i reply wrong the first time i guess, since it was showing up as quoted text in gmail, and therefore not displaying it.<br><br>----<br><br>OK, I've thought about this whole thing a lot...<br>
<br>I could be
wrong, but I can't figure out how someone would have been able to use
extreme heat (soldering iron, or hot air) without my feeling it;� I'm
quite intolerant of pain, and slightly paranoid when I'm in the city
(I'm from rural upstate NY originally, and currently live in a
back-woods area of sonoma county).�� It really sucks I didn't take a
picture immediately because all the lines were soo perfectly smooth when
I first saw it.� The corners were ever so slightly rounded, it was
obviously made using a Reuleaux triangle. There didn't appear to be a
fray at all.� My first thought when I saw it was that I must have leaned
up next to something hot, but there's no way I wouldn't have felt it,
then I saw the slightly rounded edges, coupled with the burn marks, i
can't see it being anything other than a laser.� You can still see one
of the rounded edges pretty well on the back in some of the pictures I
posted...� Sorry they weren't better, my good camera is MIA.� Also,
notice on my boxers, the holes go through the darkest portions of the
material and not the green stripes...Here's all the relevant details
that I can remember:<br>
<br>I had about 3 big Lagunitas IPAs, But i'm a big guy, and drank that
over a long period, I was far from drunk.� I remember turning behind me
one time to see someone kneeling near the floor with what I believe was
some kind of prizm.� It was glowing blueish;� as soon as they saw I was
turned around (and I mean, quick) they took off into the tool room.� I
guess I should have been more suspicious, but I certainly didn't except
someone to be burning my ass with a laser.� It seems I recall seeing a
prizm sitting (taped?) near/to the window coming from the tool room,
with a blueish light also coming though it.� I was sitting near the
trash bin/recycling bin, fairly close to the main entrance / tool room
door...<br>
<br>I was the perfect mark for many reasons, I think..� First, I was
seated in one of those folding metal chairs, so i wasn't moving at all.�
I'm a big guy, i could be less likely to feel it due to extra padding,
half buzzed on ripper beer.� I may have been using my laptop at the
time, lessening the chance I was going to get up or move suddenly.� My
jean are also dark in color, excellent for using a laser on.� I was one
of the closest people seated next to the tool room door and here's a
very interesting detail...� There seemed to be lots of people stand
behind me at one point (presumably watching 5mof, near the beginning)
and then suddenly nearly everyone had moved to a different spot.� (I
even remember thinking to myself... damn, i took a shower today, i can't
stink that bad)<br>
<br>Also, I remember over-hearing someone say, "I wanna see the co2
laser!" <br><br>I know people saw this go down..� There was a girl and
guy sitting in a chair almost right behind me (although they
mysteriously moved further away too, by the end of 5mof) <br>
<br>Fess up people, even if you didn't do it, tell us what you saw go
down.� I wanna see a 5mof on how it was done next week!� I'll bring in
my pants and you can gloat ;-)<br><br>dr1ce<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Jun 20, 2010 at 3:24 PM, Lamont Lucas <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:lamont@cluepon.com">lamont@cluepon.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I note that the square hole is about the size of a QFP airflow nozzle for the Aoyue surface mount hot air reflow station that's in the electronics section. �Any chance you leaned against one of those benches?<br>
<br>
I mean, not that someone cutting your pants with a laser from a distance isn't an awesome story, but I wonder if you're hearing hoofbeats and thinking laser zebras. </blockquote></div><br>
