The part of the study they didn't release is that if you use an Apple laptop your fertility actually increases, not to mention it makes you more attractive. |

According to the article I read, this is only a problem if you work on your computer with your lap top literally on your lap. The heat generated by the lap top is what is thought to cause the problem. |

Does anyone remember that Taxi episode where Danny DiVito throws his crotch up to a microwave in the hope of making himself sterile?

I actually heard the same thing happened to cops that would sit in their cars with their radar guns in their laps. I guess there is a balance to the universe |
