Hey, did you ever notice how sometimes when you're typing with your laptop on your lap it feels like it's burning your legs? Well, good news! It turns out it is burning your legs.

Apparently, (extremely) prolonged exposure to the high-temperatures sometimes generated by laptops (125 degrees Fahrenheit or even higher if your computer's seriously jacked) can lead to something called "Toasted-Skin Syndrome," a condition usually experienced by bakers and glass blowers because of their constant exposure to high heat that managed to discolor one of the legs of a young Virginia law student. Hers was just one of 10 laptop-related cases reported in medical journals in the past six years.

Toasted-Skin Syndrome causes a mottled, darkened appearance on the skin it affects, and could potentially lead to squamous-cell skin cancer, although so far there have been no reports of laptop-related cancer. Still, put a book or something underneath that computer if you aren't going to invest in a desk.
