A practice that for many years college students have considered an urban legend. “How do you do it without anyone seeing you?” How do you do it without anyone hearing you?” And most importantly, “What do you do with the, you know, stuff, when you are done?” Well, I am here to answer these questions and more for all of you horny scholars who have to walk back to your dorm with a huge boner because you have been staring at the girl in front of you’s thong for the last 50 minutes and don’t know how to unload the gun in class.’

`A new high-powered laser developed by scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories in Livermore, Calif. holds promise to improve upon so-called laser peening. [..]

“The laser runs 25 times faster than any other laser in the world,” says Hackel. “It has a peak power output of a billion watts for 20 nanoseconds. That’s the [power] output of a huge electrical power plant for a city neighborhood.”

Bringing such tremendous power onto a pinpoint piece of metal for just billionths of a second creates a huge microscopic shockwave — and pressures up to one million pounds per square inch, says Hackel.’
