Laptop burn

Seems they don't call them laptops anymore for a reason. They call them notebooks, or power Books because the name "laptop" seems to imply that you can place the computer on your lap. Your lap is like a mobile computer desk. Oh but wait, you shouldn't put them on your lap because it turns out you can be horribly burned!
I fell asleep last night in bed with my computer on my lap and woke up a half hour later to a, well, burning sensation. On further inspection my thighs looked like an Irish kids who had fell asleep in the bright Caribbean sun for 5 hours. Today the Irish burn was gone and a life lesson was learned.
