My stomach could support 1 great big fat tapeworm! - What about you? Blue "Lightsaber" Laser Can Blind, Burn Flesh, and Costs Only $200 That little hunk of frost-coated hardware in the photo is the Spyder III Pro Arctic blue handheld laser. It's being marketed as the closest thing to real-life Star Wars lightsaber ever. Because this $200 piece of Chinese gear can fry your retinas.
