Well, not really...it's only 1-1.5mW
Gotta start somewhere, though!

Well I don't have any sharks at the moment, but a friend of mine offered to use his pet lizard. At least we'd have something with a frickin laser beam on its forehead!

Play with it, mostly
I have some kind of fetish for lasers. I think they're cool.
I was looking at one like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=53141&item=7515933129&rd=1
But at 30 watts it is powerful enough to burn through my hand in about a second...
I figured I should start with something that probably can't even blind me, first, before I move on to something that could sever an apendage

After hearing about what happened to that dude who aimed his laser pointer at an airplane....I don't think I'm going to risk aiming this thing in the air at all
Maybe I can rig up some kind of laser-show for my bedroom. Would be an uber-cool trip toy!

Just nip the tip!
I don't think penors and lasers mix too well. At least, I don't intend to find out...

Well a laser pointer is a diode laser, which are pretty crappy as far as beam characterists go (they are not very well collimated, and diverge pretty quickly).
Plus these HeNe gas tubes just look purty while they're lasing

What exactly would you need a 3,500 watt laser for?
