That scientist committedfirst degree lasercide on that poor, defenseless laser just to see how long it would operate at maximum candiosity...er...uh...INTENSITY before it pooped out.
Losercide is the act of blowing oneself up and killing numerous innocent people.
Usually committed by a wannabe martyr that thinks it will make them an instant hero.
A real martyr is a person who suffers torture, torment, great pain or misery for a long time rather than giving up their beliefs.
After two policemen wrestle a suspect to the ground, and disarm the explosives hidden beneath the individuals clothing, one cop says to the other " I'm glad that Losercide failed."
