Protect your balls, man!

In spite of title, this post is about really, really serious thing.

We all (ok, probably almost all) have laptops and use them in many places, of course to spend time as effectively as possible. Everyday I see people using their laptops in train, bus, on a bench in the park and, most often, in bed. In all those cases laptop lies on their laps.

This is so common that we don't realize this is WRONG AND DANGEROUS!

Medicine researches state that drivers, especially truck and bus drivers more frequently have problems to become fathers. Their sperm isn't in best condition because of their work.
"What the heck I have in common with truck drivers?!" you could ask. The answer is simpler than you think. We all work for serveral hours in sitting position and this is not good for our sperm.

Male balls (testiculars) are placed outside body for one reason: better cooling. High temperature causes damage to sperm cells making them incapable of doing their job properly. If you are using laptop on your laps everyday for some time, your sperm don't have possibility to recover. Sometimes this state could become irreversible and as a result your wife or girlfriend will never be happy mummy.

How can you prevent this horrible scenario?
If you really can't live without working with computer on your laps there are some ways to make you and your balls much safer.

1. Put a large book between laps and laptop.
Pros:
- the cheapest solution
- it's not heavy if book is large but thin
- small, easy to carry

Cons:
- instability, when you move your laptop also moves.
- no place for mouse

2. board made of isolating material
Pros:
- lighter than book
- small, easy to carry

Cons:
- not so cheap
- instability
- no place for mouse

3. notebook/laptop coolers (example 1, example 2)
Pros:
- they cool laptop and help to exchange air between your laps and laptop.

Cons:
- price
- not all are lightweight and easy to carry
- some are cheap but some are really expensive (Zalman for example)
- instability
- no place for mouse

4. small table for laptop (example 1, example 2, example 3)
Pros:
- perfect to use in bed or sofa
- stable, laptop lies on the table not on your laps
- some of them have place for mouse

Cons:
- price
- large size
- rather impossible to use them in train


Summary
