Men: laptop off your lap please
A recent study (State University of New York at Stony Brook, Stony Brook NY ) has shown that men who use their laptop on their lap can suffer from "scrotal hyperthermia" making them less fertile and increasing scrotal temperature almost 6 degrees F.
"repetitive transient scrotal hyperthermia is a modern lifestyle feature that may have a negative impact upon spermatogenesis, specifically in teenage boys and young men."
So if you're male, trying to have kids, and have a laptop - keep it off your lap.
