Am I as cool as Alton Brown? Paul, who has seen us both in person, would probably say "No."
But now, I'm at least getting close, because I own one of these:
That's right, lesser beings -- pick a random surface within a few feet of me, and I will illuminate it with a built-in laser pointer, then tell you its exact temperature. For instance -- the back of my mouth? 96 degrees. My coffee table? 71 degrees. The back of my cat, Guinness? 76 degrees and ALL FREAKED OUT because I'm holding a laser pointer.
Alright, so I admit it's not an everyday tool -- or even something I plan to use much outside a few kitchen tasks -- but it will come in handy from time to time, I got a great price and it doubles as a cat toy. What more justification does a kitchen geek need?

OK, I am admittedly impressed.
But you need to COME CLEAN with your audience.
Admit that you measured the temperature of your penis.
You are the man (or kitchen geek, if you prefer....). I will admit, I never thought of the high-tech thermometer as doubling as a cat toy. But it's true- any laser device is a cat magnet, I've seen them in action.
James -- he didn't say it came with a magnifying glass.
HEY-OHHH.
Anyway ... no, you're not quite as cool as Alton, but you're cooler than me. I must have one of those.
Paul already told me he wants one too!!!
If you and Alton have one, then he NEEDS one :)!
