Apparently keeping your laptop on your lap for too long will cause skin disfigurement, something called ‘toasted-skin syndrome’. I’m not kidding. This recent story shows that a 12 year old boy got a sponge like pattern on his left thigh after playing computer games for a really long time. He claimed that he noticed the laptop would get hot on the left side after a while. Despite this, he did not take the laptop off his lap.
We may need to reconsider the term LAPtop after this one. Either that, or maybe computer games are causing us to lose the basic sensory reactions we ought to be having.
JPMITB keeping it real here. Is this article seriously published in “National News”? I come here trying to read about things like Kid Cudi, Ronald Reagan, and hootchies…and you waste my time with some trifling sob story of a 12 year old kid who was trying to sterilize himself with a macbook? I hear CNN is hiring people to find shit like this…
Hahaha now now, Mr. MITB, CNN is mostly just firing folks nowadays
