I have no idea who the salesman for lasers is in the world, but jesus christ, they’re doing a good job. Lasers are to science what cranberries are to juices. They’re freaking everywhere.

And now they’ll be on your wrists. In a move that people who inhabit darkened clubs are celebrating, a watch has been invented that uses lasers to put the time on your skin. It looks like half of a futuristic hand-cuff, but then again what sort of invention lately has NOT looked like bondage wear? We’re into that these days. A laser is mounted in the wrist band and angled over the flat portions of the wrist, so your skin will have a HUD display. Or can scan barcodes. The watch will come in three colors, Red, White, and Black. Chicago Bulls fans, start your engines.

I only hope that the factory doesn’t get their lasers mixed up on laser day, and put the ones that shape diamonds or perform eye surgeries into the ones that are supposed to be in your fancy new watch. You’ll get the time burned into your wrist, and it won’t be easy to explain why numbers are on your wrists without making tasteless jokes about World War II. Also, I hope you can reprogram it to say things. Like cylon.
