  Use it to test how dangerous your laser is: http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2010/09/easier-laser-safety/
  
  A few weeks ago we posted a story about how some green laser pointers leak dangerous amounts of eye-damaging infrared light, and outlined a home-brew way to test your own laser pointers.
  
  That test involved balancing the laser pointer on a cup, shining it at a CD and photographing the resulting light patterns with two different cameras. But biochemist Jody Plank and physicist Chris Dombrowski of the University of California, Davis say there’s an easier way: Just use an infrared thermometer.
