I think both the Super Laser and the Cosmic String Dispenser violate several, important, laws of Handwavium.  Just like why I never added "Universal Remote" to the list.  A Stop-That watch is dangerous enough!

When I appended the term, "Otherwise harmless" to that, I guess I should have elaborated.  The only thing 'super' about is that it's a perfect laser - just not very powerful at all.  The photons in the beam are all running perfectly parallel.  You can beam a dot from Mercury to Pluto without any degradation.  But all it would be is just a little green point of light, even at point-blank range.  It won't even hurt a person's retina for some reason.  :p

		Ah, okay.  To me, a "Superlaser" is the Death Star's main gun.  I would have called it a Superlaser Pointer.  So, it goes through the Death Star's behaviour, but only makes a pin-head sized dot a planet away.

Yep, that's the idea.  It's great for getting that boggled expression, followed by the words, "You're kidding, right?"
