: Why are book covers so important? What makes books worth so much more just for having that stupid piece of paper on the outside? Apparently you can't even sell a book back to a store without one. Why do we feel the need to protect the covers more than the book, when it's really what's under the cover that matters? I mean, if you follow this sort of logic, maybe it is true that we judge books by their covers.

: It would be neat, but probably logistically impossible, to have handheld lasers with enough intensity to slice through clouds. It would be so cool to just be able to point the laser up into the sky and be able to draw things in the clouds with them. Of course, I would have to be the only one who had one, or else all you guys would cut up the clouds before I got a chance to.
