This bacteria-infested meat packing waste product is sold to college students in midwestern towns as an exotic alternative to the hamburger. A laser gyroscope does have certain similarities to the geeros. It, too, rotates under a beam of light, is potentially lethal, and is probably not worth what you pay for it.  There the similarity ends.  As a general rule, I would advise you to stay away from rocket guidance equipment when you&#8217;re hungry.  Maybe I&#8217;d change my tune if those Greek guys hadn&#8217;t fired me for thinking about things and avoiding serving those whiney customers back in my college days.
