Laptop Wi-Fi Said to Nuke Sperm, but Caveats Abound

Not about fitness, rather fitness about nuts.
The digital age has left men's nether parts in a squeeze, if you believe the latest science on semen, laptops and wireless connections.

In a paper November 23rd in Fertility and Sterility, Argentinian scientists report that they obtained semen samples from 29 healthy men, placed a few drops under a laptop connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi and then hit download.

Four hours later, the semen was, eh, well-done.

A quarter of the sperm were no longer swimming around, for instance, compared to just 14% of sperm in samples stored at the same temperature but away from the computer.
Sorry.

Could not resist.
