Stupid health scare

I don’t know if people have heard but apparently, male users of laptops are at risk of becoming infertile. Well, I think this is stupid. Basically, if you use a laptop on your lap, it’s supposed to raise the temperature of the, ahem, gonads so that they explode or something.

Quick! Do something about it! Like… well nothing really, cos it’s the stupid media blowing things all out of proportion. A pair of tight pants has the same effect, so in essence, laptops are as dangerous as a pair of pants.

It’s like that thing a while ago about apple juice. They said that there was cyanide in apple juice, and that it could possibly kill someone. It turns out that there’s such a small amount that you’d need such a large volume of apple juice you’d be more likely to drown in it than be poisoned by it.
