Drum roll please........

For my first lounge post, I'd like to pose a question. Does anybody worry about getting lap cancer from spending too much time on their laptops? I kinda worry about it and wonder if I should wear lead-lined pants or something... :hi:

2. No, but the heat from them sometimes makes it feel like I've peed myself.

8. My laptop would be crushed under me, so I'm rarely on it.

12. I don't worry. My laptop is usually on top of a cat.

I guess I should be concerned about the cat getting cancer . . . .

17. Sorry, I could only find one of my drumsticks...

You know how hard it is to do a drum roll with just one stick? :(
