    We've all heard of various industrial diseases such as vibration white finger, tennis elbow or even bus drivers bottom, but now the latest condition to beware of is lap top thigh! :eek:

    BBC News - 'Laptop thigh' skin rash warning


    My attention was drawn to one part of the article when they said it can be worse when the laptop is held next to bare skin for extended periods of time. ;)

    Ah, this post shouldn't be too controversial. ;)

    Of course for the PC users that sit at home naked with their laptops sitting on their thigh, might just think your a bigot.

    Honestly I think Grumpy posted this because he is hoping some fine lady will take heart and offer him a massage. :D

    Laptop Thigh is a naturally occurring phenomenon. People go through natural cycles. Sometimes your thigh skin is perfect, sometimes it has burns. I don't know why people insist on blaming computers. Perhaps it's an anti-computer conspiracy.

    "the machines can negatively effect sperm production."

    I've always found computers to be kind of opposite to that, ever since we got the internet...?
