    Even though it's a myth is makes sense what they were saying.

    to start with it does much more damage to your laptop as they're not designed to go on your lap (fans on the bottom)

    i've already got a child so i'm ok to play with my laptop for a long as i like.

    How are they going to test it? Put laptops on the laps of an army of men?

    Have you guys heard of the new Dell Spermsaver laptops? They say they are really cool and quiet, and reduces sperm loss by up to 60%.

    Pfft, my balls are working fine. I've been 'lapping' my LAPtop for years. It the industrial kitchens (forget 60C more like 200C) crotch heat that gonna do damage. As for mobiles, pfft, mine lives in my pocket constantly and its doing no damage whatsoever, people who don't have phones because they think the 'radiationz' are gonna get them are idiots.

    Yeah. How much damage is such a small phone going to cause? I mean, laptops and temperature is plausible, but radiation from a cell phone? Pfft.

    Yes I remember my Social Studies teacher telling us this. He also said that if a woman puts a cellphone in her breast pocket, it can make their breast grow smaller or something or affect the hormones somehow. I didn't know why he was telling us stuff like that when our topic was Roman :p

    Cellphones can transmit at up to 4 watts, thats quite powerful for a personal device.
