Here’s one straight from the bizarro chapters. Dozens of individuals that attended an all night dance party near Moscow have been “partially blinded after a laser light show burned their retinas,” according to Russian health officials. Apparently someone responsible for erecting the equipment decided to aim a few lights powerful enough to brighten the night sky down at the crowd (after rain necessitated a makeshift roof, we’re told), with some of those who stared too long losing up to “80%” of their vision. We’re not exactly sure what will happen to the promoters of the event, but at least now you’ve a valid excuse to rock those face-engulfing sunglasses (or a welding mask, if you’re really paranoid) in every night club you waltz into.
