   DOCTORS are warning that laptop computers may inflict a burn even
   through clothed skin, after the bizarre case of a Swedish scientist
   who scorched his penis and testicles while writing a report in his
   armchair.

   The unnamed 50-year-old father of two had balanced the computer on
   his lap while he wrote the report at home, taking about an hour to do
   it, according to a letter published in the next issue of the British
   medical weekly The Lancet.
