Default Will my wireless laptop render me impotent?

So there's me, chatting away to all and sundry via messaging and forums etc on my laptop, when my mother-in-law (via Skype I may add) informs me that a recent programme called 'Panorama' shown on UK tv has said that:

Chaps who spend mucho-timeo on a wireless enabled lap-top computer will have their balls shrivelled into walnuts by them there dastardly radio waves and they will never produce kiddies as their 'female goalkeepers' will just be 'too good' for the 'perfomance lacking' spermies.

I have to say that the statement in ' ' were said by a man. Yup - I'm now worried.

True, or is my blood sucking mother-in-law just finding another reason why my genes will never be good enough for her daughter.........?

Wi-Fi dangers:

"you have a large number of various effects like chromosome damage, you have impact on the concentration capacity and decrease in short term memory, increases in the number of cancer incidences," said Professor Olle Johansson of the Karolinska Institute in Sweden. " on Panorama

Sitting in a Wi-Fi hotspot (i.e. where you are able to recieve wi-fi). for one year is equivalent to 20 minutes mobile phone use according to the UK government.
The real danger is, apparently, to younger children who's skulls are less thick. So, maybe it's not a good idea to run a transmitter in the kids bedroom and probably not a good idea to let them us the laptop on their laps either.

I have to say that having worked on microwave 'radio' equipment whilst in the forces many years ago I've never believed the government and industries claims that transmissions from mobiles 'won't harm you'.

Dude - I am taking a wild guess here but based on your post I am going with the 'lap tops are safe' statement until proven otherwise.

Thanks to all those who did - or did not - participate in this research. We hope that you all have perfectly - sort of (for legal reasons) - formed kids in the future....

Were you asking this question in a high-pitched voice ?

I was always worried that the Xray machine at the airport could melt my Belgian choccies too

I think you should be fin Wiz, I am basing this on the fact that you need to have a pair of balls before your lap top will affect them.

bro69 - I've got a big enough pair to knock your block off if you keep up with this sniping at me.

No smiley.

Based on the amount of time you spend on this site they must be shrinking by the day.

I'll put mine in your mouth that might shut you up.
