My neighbor decided the lawnmower way was dumb. He would light his lawn
on fire every few months, and take care of it that way.

I was thinking that it might be possible to have a spinning laser
(ala sprinkler) which could cut grass.

The best way would be to get a riding lawnmower, and hook up a computer
system of some kind to the steering mechanism...
