Google Buys Giant Ant Roaster

This is exactly why I dreamed of working for Google all through high school (and most of college). The guys in Google's Santa Monica office got together and bought a huge frickin' Fresnel ("freh-NELL") lens for the sole purpose of roasting things with the sun's death rays energy.
Some of the cooler things they've roasted with the death beam (which is the same type of lens used in overhead projectors and lighthouses) include wood, pennies, gummy bears, yadda yadda... Oh, and they cooked bacon and eggs with the sucker. Nice.
You can get an overview of the shenanigins over at the Official Google Blog or you can see every single photo of the fun in painstaking detail at one of the team members' LiveJournal blogs.
P.S. Shouldn't he be using Blogger?
