Laptop Burns Penis
A Swedish scientist learned the hard way that he should not have taken the word 'laptop' too literally. He was sitting with his laptop in his lap, writing for about one hour. The next day he discovered irritation and serious blisters on and around his penis.
He recalled that the heat from his laptop computer had caused some discomfort at the time, even through his trousers and underwear, but he thought moving the laptop around relieved it.
It took more than a weak for the equipment to be fully operable again. Presumably, the laptop is now placed on a table.
