Hey Guys...Wants make babies?
Stop using your laptop!

quote........
All that computer time on the road or at home may be taking more of a toll on some men than they realize.

Reproductive experts warn in a new study that heat generated by laptop computers can have an adverse effect on male fertility.

The study, reported today in the journal Human Reproduction, showed that testicular temperatures rose by between 4.6 and 5 degrees Fahrenheit in an hour among a group of healthy male volunteers.

1. The laptops bake our gonads...
CRTs cause blindness...

Cell phones fry our brains...

Too much salt hardens our arteries... (No, it doesn't.) (Yes, it does.) (No, it doesn't.)...

And there's a shortage of blue agave.

Before long, they'll be telling us that smoking isn't good for us. :shrug:

IIRC, one of the reasons the testicles reside outside the body cavity is because the little sperm-buddies don't develop properly in higher temperatures. If 98.6 degrees is too warm for them, I guess it stands to reason that the well-over-100+ degrees that a laptop throws off would cause them some discomfort. It doesn't do wonders for the comfort of the owners of said testes, either.

2. Fundies will outlaw laptops in Iraq
It drastically reduces body counts.

As for the States, there will be no problem since we're bringing
in plenty of illegals to work at Wal Mart. Plenty of $5.00 an hour slaves are in the Bush pipeline. Just be quiet and don't tell the
Bush supporters, okay! They need plenty of rest so they can be fresh
for Limbaugh tomorrow morning.
