Finally, a Shark With a Laser Attached To Its Head 139
Freshly Exhumed writes in with a Wired story about a nerd/super-villian dream come true. "Marine biologist-cum-TV personality Luke Tipple attached a 50-milliwatt green laser to a lemon shark off the coast of the Bahamas in late April. The escapade was sponsored by Wicked Lasers, a consumer-focused laser manufacturer based in Hong Kong that produces some of the most brilliant — and potentially dangerous — handheld lasers in the world. 'This was definitely a world first,' Tipple told Wired. 'Initially, I told them no. I thought it was a frivolous stunt. But then I considered that it would give us an opportunity to test our clips and attachments, and whatever is attached to that clip, I really don't care. It was a low-powered laser that couldn't be dangerous to anyone, and there's actually useful applications in having a laser attached to the animal.'"

This is 3rd grade stuff, man.
Grammar nazis get their panties in a bind if you use the present perfect verb tense when the present perfect progressive would have been more appropriate. Knowing the difference between 'it's' and 'its' is more the equivalent of saying '2+2=5' and then calling the person who corrected you a 'math nazi'.
