This could have an effect on the bottom line of the vasectomy clinics.
We don't want them to breed anyway , do we ????
This is the Darwinian imperative that allows the Tea Baggers to out-breed the Geeks.
Ahh, now I finally understand, Sarah Palin's moose stories.
I'm curious if they used a control group of people who assumed the same position, but without the laptop. Article says the testicles are cooled via movement outside the body. So I would like to see the result of the group who sat with their legs together and no laptop for the same amount of time.
Has there ever been a better headline? This should be filed with "jogging in boxers might casue scrotal streching" or "riding a bike with no seat might cause problems". Really? This is a discovery? So glad we have scientists for this. Perhaps this is what all the rocket scientest were forced to do since Obama cancelled space for America.
Pete, I disagree with you. It's Obama's fault that my manhood got toasted using my laptop. He did not get Congress to agree to create an adequate consumer protection group like he promised in his campaign. I am so glad that NASA looked into this dillemma for me. It is productive use of medical research to protect my abilities to reproduce. I care more about my ability to add to the genome than finding aliens in W's backyard any day. Guess I can look forward to the Tea Party to protect me from laptops that singe my, uh, lap. We need to encourage them to allow such medical research using NASA for the sake of continuity of the species. Who is with me? With your backing, we can petition to create a lobby and seek out corporate sponsorship. Anyone know Karl Rove? He may be able to help.
If it weren't for your apparent whimsy, I would say the world would be better if you spent more time with your laptop on your knees, legs closed.
Karl Rove works with his laptop on his head, with the result that it has cooked his brain.
Grumpy old person
Time to turn over all you ass etts to someone else (consumer protection agency) maybe like Obama.
I can't belileve so many people need a nanny all their life.
Talking about riding a bike with no seat and NASA scientists,reminds me of this dude from NASA. He sent his daughter some extra stipend to buy a bike for use on campus. She bought a Persian cat instead. The kitty cat started to lose her hair. She wrote papa, "my pussy cat started to lose hair. What should I do?". He wrote back, "sell the bike". So much for NASA scientists.
Hey Pete,
Lighten up dude. Some guys out there probably aren't thinking about their scrotum health.
THis article SHOULD have been written long ago as laptops are a health problem in more ways than heating up the scrotum. THey just won't tell you about it until they make billions selling them first, then trillions on the health care your all going to need.
Bye
Not only that, momo, but the industry plans to phase out desktops, so everyone will have to use laptops. This is part of the government's population reduction scheme.
Weldon, at least there is hope that a Bohner may end the burning sensation I feel.
Whatever
Space has been cancelled? What the hell am I looking at every night then?
Seriously, this isn't new information. Perhaps a lot of men don't think about it, but locating a heat source near their junk just isn't a great idea.
global warming!
Your laptop could be cooking your testicles
which could affect sperm quality.
It also keeps you from falling in love with your right hand.
With homo sapiens overpopulating and ravaging the earth, we could use a little infertility!
As a matter of fact no it's not. Been married 20 plus years, the wife had those removed long ago.
Great way to limit overpopulation...
FREE LAPTOPS FOR EVERYONE!!
Stop wearing pants. Simple.
lol tosted balls
Im in the assumption that this is a humanitarian discovery.
Might I ask, WHY IS THIS NEWS?
Because some people didn't know about it before?
Do I win a prize?
Great, my kid is going to look like a computer...
What a bunch of BS!
The Trojan company might worry about this.
Uh, yeah, ya think? What a completely worthless article. Just more titillating filler. Sorry I saw it.
First it was global warming, now it's scrotal warming! What's next? Excuse me. breakfast is ready: fried eggs!
I operrate under the belief that its quantity , not quality that matters .
So is this the time to pull out those old 'breakfast trays' we only used on Mother's & Father's Day?
As a matter of fact, now that the subject has been brought up; my lap does get warm when I have my laptop sitting on my lap. But what the heck, I am 55, and I don't plan on having children at my age anyway.
Dang! I was planning to have another dozen kids. I thought I'd get married again at 80, and start over.
O for cripes sake. Darwin award goes to laptop computers. Guess if you think we are under reproducing it might matter.
DOH
...because with almost 7 billion people on the planet, what we are concerned with most is a better turnout. =/
Just so - they talk about reduced fertility as though it were undesirable. True, this only affects a small portion of the population, but it's a start.
Why not be more forthright, and stop paying people to have babies (US tax laws and other policies.) Radical idea, but worth discussion - how about we pay people to limit reproduction, like free sterilization (M & F) after first child.
Who actually puts their laptops on their laps these days, anyway? Processors starting with the pentium IV spew at least 50 or so watts... it's like putting an incandescent bulb between your legs.
ULV processors (I have the core2 version)......I never understood why it became acceptable for laptops to become so hot. I can do almost anything without my laptop becoming more than mildly warm to the touch, and it is a powerhouse, too.
