My favorite part is how he waited two weeks before 'fessing up to what happened. I imagine it's pretty tough to fake being able to see.

People are pretty clueless about lasers. I was at a seminar once, and the speaker (a colleague of mine) hit me in the eye with a laser, as a "joke." Since it was a low-power laser pointer, there was no permanent damage. The funny part about this story is that I later had him killed.
