Cutting cheese is always a laughing matter. Ask any 5 year old...
MADISON, Wis. (AP) - A researcher from the University of Wisconsin at Madison has figured out a better way to slice cheese - just use a laser.He who smelt it, dealt it."At any other university, people would have just laughed. But this is Wisconsin. It's cheese. And this is no laughing matter," said Xiaochun Li, a mechanical engineering professor and laser expert. [..]
At first, Li tried using a traditional commercial laser that uses heat to cut by melting or evaporating; it fried the cheese.
"It smelled really bad," he said.

Indeed. I'm glad the finest minds in science are tackling this vexing issue. The current version of sliced cheese is simply unacceptable.

This is what happens when the Packers get knocked out of the playoffs. We think up wild stuff when our minds aren't focused (like a laser?) on upcoming game.
