Was reading a funny editorial about a lady who went to Walgreens and started seeing it as a sex-toy store.
Then I went over to McGoo’s and saw this Steampunk Vaporinatorinator. Waycool.
Then it hit me… Steampunk Sex Toys and Products.
Very first crack – gotta go to bed…
It hasn’t been aged, dirt mapped, adjusted in tone, and I want to put it in Scribus and make an old time advert out of it, with sepia tone and period text.
But you do recognize it as an extendible condom with a pressure gauge, right?
Lemur King's Folly 
Hell, I saw your comment over at my place and replied “I can’t wait to see the condom.”
And voila!. Here it is! Better’n I imagined it!
And just in time: the germanium laser. Perfect for your next steampunk world takeover bid!

Wow! They made a laser out of FLOWERS. How cool is that, huh?
Seriously though, I can’t wait to read the Phys Letters article on this.
This will help get rid of the limitations of external cavities and coupling issues.
Moore’s law might have some legs in it left. And think about the reduction in waste heat. Wow.
You start looking for novel ways to incorporate quantum dots, memristers, and someday even quantum computing. Oh this is so cool. No I have no ideas how you’d incorporate dots or quantum stuff, but memristors for the memory would be something all by itself.
Memristers? Wasn’t that a breakfast cereal back in The Goode Olde Days?
With a pressure gauge…. 😀
