Default Death Ray?

I've been reading the owner's manual for my new '08 UC and discovered that it contains a laser capable of killing people! Page 77 (and 93) contain the warning (concerning the CD player): "Do not disassemble the unit. Laser radiation is present if disc player is disassembled and the interlock fails or is defeated. Exposure to radiation could lead to death or serious injury." Has anyone figure out a way to convert this for useful purposes, such as zapping deer or soccer moms talking on cell phones?

Well, since every page of the owner's manual contains three or four "death or serious injury" warnings.... I never noticed the death ray warning, however. Maybe if you put a mirror in front of your CD and left the latch open, you could reflect the beam frontwards and blast cars out of your way before they turn in front of you.

It can be converted to burn a hole in certain material, I seen it on one of the geek networks where I purchased the video camera for my bike. It was pretty cool too. I didn't believe it but it had a video with it that showed some paper material bursting into flames in a few seconds after hitting it with the laser.
Might work on the tires of a cager too. I believe it was thinkgeek.com, but not sure any more. I know the camera I purchased from them is cool.

The only time the CD can become lethal is when it is combined with playing RAP music.

Yeah. Basically, ya put it into a flashlight frame that can focus the beam, then connect it directly to your bike battery. You have flame power. Just don't shine it in your own eyes. You could kill yourself or cause serious bodily injury, according to the Harley manual.
