Ahem, allow the mechanical engineer to tell you that real lightsabers are currently scientifically impossible, because there is no way to set the length of the laser "blade" at 2-3 ft. In fact, I read it in a book--the components that would be necessary for an actually lightsaber. The length controlling mechanism is the only part that hasn't been invented, although, in order to get the right intensity, the handle would have to have an awful lot of those little silverized mirrors.

I know that you saw me.

Why do we need a length? Why don't we just mount the thing on a tank, and shoot a continuous beam at things? It could be a bunker-buster, anti-armor, anti-infantry, anti-everything. We could even use it to toast pop-tarts.
Think of the possibilities, man.

Back to the topic.....
I would tape it if I ever had an erotic adventure. It'd be something so unusual and unlikely that it would sure deserve to be recorded.

Erotic adventure huh? That brings a lot to mind. (like how you should keep things like that locked up so no one else can it)

Haven't you heard all those stories about how people tape themselves then somehow it ends up that other people find it and watch it. Kind of like that paris hilton sex tape or the pamela anderson and tommy lee sex tape. Does that help?

And why would that be a problem? Even if they did find it, it'd be so unlikely that people would say: Yeah, it looks like her, but it can't be her.

Yeah but if family or friends found it then it might be embarrassing.
