Solar power!
A friend just sent me a link to a red hot horror story: Las Vegas hotel guests left with severe burns from 'death ray' caused by building's designMaybe they could charge the guests for the extra energy. Whether it's truly a "death ray" is debatable. If it is, then holding a magnifying glass over an insect to fry it in the sun constitutes deploying a death ray. (And sunburned people are death ray victims.) I think it's merely an example of solar power. I remain a death ray skeptic, and I have always loved this cartoon: posted by Eric on 09.30.10 at 11:06 AM

More like a "death" spotlight as it has a beam size of 10-15 feet. And only raising the temperature by 20 degrees it is diabolical in that it slowly burns the victim in the boiling frog method since the temperature increase isn't enough to cause the victim to jump out of the spotlight. But really, a death ray that can be foiled by a thicker umbrella? Is this from The Avengers?
The hotel should just put in an exclusion zone that tracks the spotlight and charge extra for guest to use the speed tanning area.
