Spy der Mann writes "Researchers find that men who place portable computers on their laps are inadvertently raising the temperature of their scrotums -- and possibly damaging their sperm. Guess laptops should get a namechange soon... before our fertility does."

    I guess you'll have to take out Hot tubs and warm showers and tight fitting jeans as well... This is by far the dumbest thread of the week.

    Don't forget about the realdoll. Although I guess fertility doesn't matter in this case either.

    I never thought I'd see the day when the word scrotum appears in a slashdot article summary.

    Funny that. I was a geek in high school too, but I never really had a lack of dates. Played chess, tutored, drama, yearbook/newspaper, was a computer geek, and still got the girls (all very attractive).

    Of course, I also wasn't a 98lb weakling either. I was close to 6' tall and fairly well muscled from the martial training. I had to keep telling the football and track and field coaches that I wasn't interested in joining.

    That was the case for some of them, but not for others. Being chased by the girls from aerobics when I was in college comes to mind (there seems to be something attractive about a guy who fights with a sword, and our practice room was right down the hall from them.)

    Besides, most of the girls I dated asked me out, not the other way around.

    Look at it this way - you can pay for their gym memberships now, or you can pay for their heart pills and triple-bypass surgery later. I think we both know which is cheaper.
