Stupid idiot of the day.

According to this wired news article, a Swiss man recently burned his penis while using his is laptop. Apparently, there was a tingling/burning sensation but the man was so wrapped up in his work that he ignored it. The article goes on to say, "After a few days, the unnamed scientist's penis and scrotum was blistered. The blisters popped, became infected and generated an "extensive" amount of pus before scabbing over, wrote Claes-Goran Ostenson in the prestigious publication."

Maybe if the man was using a new transmeta processor in his laptop he wouldn't have had such a problem. :)
