Keep those laptops off your lap boys

[holdensupporter2005]

Teenagers and young men should keep their laptops off their laps because they could damage fertility, an expert says.

Laptops, which reach high internal operating temperatures, can heat up the scrotum which could affect the quality and quantity of men's sperm.

far out, hehehe, they arent called laptops anymore either. They are called notebooks. One guy somewhere got burnt for leaving it on their lap...

[dephilile]

Isn’t laptop a trademark of IBM or something which is why everyone else has to call them notebooks?

[TheForgotten]

meh, it's ok for me, I already got one, and I can't afford any more if I actually want to finish my car

[maxy0987]

i dont keep them there anyway, ive been worried about radiation from them for a long time, i dont even like my mobile near my family jewels

If a guy has a computer sitting on his lap long enough to effect his sperm I don't see that being the problem in him being able to have kids. Its more like the fact that hes such a geek that no girl would get with to give him the chance to make babies in the first place.

[Lish]

thats a bit harsh Julie LOL ..... I met Mike on the net and for a few months we lived on the computer for hours at night because that was our only time together - but we are far from geeks... and I'd make babies with him anyday well practice anyway

Thanks very much.
Now I know why I don't have a girlfriend, I fix computers for a living.

i know how babies are made, a stalk comes, with the babie, and draops him off at the landing pad at the hospital

[Phreddy]

Didn't you hear about that bloke who ended up with a blister on his old fella from having a computer on his lap during a long plane flight? It's true!

It wasn't that it got all that hot, but it was the length of time that caused it apparently. He got a big blister on his nob!!

[vlv8vic]

thats a nasty one phreddy, he must have been looking at something naughty though for his knob to by pressed against it. Its an hour drive to work for me, when im not the driver i often get some work done on the lappy in the car, cant say my knob has ever overheated lol.

[mattgreen]

mine never burns me!! i have it on there alot to and it does produce some heat out the sides!

[Lumps of cheese]

What's with the 2 year old thread???
Well when this thread was made i would've taken notice but i have two boys now so not so worried...

Company execs, management, or people who need to work while on the run, basically people who potentially earn pretty good coin are no longer attractive to women? That's news to me.

Not everyone who uses a laptop for work, is playing world of warcraft

I just noticed it's a 2 year old thread... Why bring it up?

[nicko]

cruise down to your local IKEA store, buy a $10 "laptop" stable table thingo, i never put my laptop on my lap now. about a year ago a mate told me it could fry my nuts so i got me a table.

PS. while your at IKEA eat as many $1 hotdogs as you can

Not very practical to carry around while you're at airports or on the run in general :P

[Low_VX_Taxi]

I always use my lappy tappy, I surf the net whilst watching tv on the lounge..... usually rest it on my thigh.... my computers semi portable (wireless keyboard/mouse and monitor on a wheel able stand, extra long cables etc) but its just more convenient using the Laptop

Oh and Im pretty sure IBM only trademarked the "thinkpad" could be wrong tho.

u no what that means time for a new invention----------------the should put a fan at the bottom of the laptop so it airs out the peaches would solve a simple problem

They now sell Notebook Cooling Pads which have built in fans that run off USB port. They also have built in card reader and USB hub built in too.

[azkwazere]

hence why they also call them notebooks rather than laptops in an effort to discourage that kind of use.
