DVD Player Kills Family of Seven

Lasers are dangerous and if one gets out of control, like apparently this one did, there is no telling who or what will be killed or destroyed. That explains all the dead bodies I see in supermarkets here - it's the damned laser bar code scanners! Henry |

I've worked with military grade lasers, ones that CAN really kill you. There is no way the laser in a dvd player can emit enough energy to kill anyone directly. And as far as the radiation goes you'd have to practically stick it in your eye to get enough to do any harm. We have this thing called the Underwriters Labaratory that tests all household appliances. I doubt that they'd approve any houshold device that could emit even a near lethal dose of rads without adequate shileding. You're more likely to get cancer from your microwave. |

your eye to get enough to do any harm. We have this thing called the Underwriters Labaratory that tests all household appliances. That, and you also have the Federal Communications Comission, who wouldn't allow such a device because of the possibility of unacceptable interference, as well as the DHHS, who would deem such items as failing to comply with human health protection codes in terms of radiation emission standards. In either case, if DVDs and players were so dangerously radioactive, it would be federally illegal to sell and possess them. The original poster's story has more holes than Bonnie and Clyde in their last getaway attempt. - Reinhart |

Let's file this one under "Urban Legend"....good for a laugh though!....I
guess we are to think the family of seven, the cat and a cop raced over to the DVD player and stared at the laser till they were all blinded where they all subsequently ran into walls and furniture till they were all knocked silly!!!....hahahaha....Ok....Ok...enough...later, Ross "gothika" wrote in message ...

It sounds as believable as cell phones blinding cats and blowing up gas
stations. I guess that even "physics teacher" can be idiots. "Ross Mac" wrote in message ...

Hey, maybe this so called Physics teacher thinks the DVD emits microwave
