Dean Haglund, the standup comic who gained fame as the geek on The X Files, apparently is a geek in real life– and an inventor. He stumbled upon an inexpensive device that keeps one’s laptop cool… and one’s sperm count high!
We speak from personal experience here at SHECKYmagazine… not about the infertility, but about the discomfort that our first laptop caused when it was placed over… there… for too long. Our Canon InnovaBook 360CD caused a vague, dull ache. We theorized that some sort of electromagnetic field was the culprit. We referred to the effect as “fried nuts.”
(The pic at left is from our 1999 coverage of the Just For Laughs Festival. Haglund was in Montreal to participate in an Improv program. We accosted him in the tent across from the Theatre St. Denis and snapped this pic after veryifying that he was indeed a standup comic.
Haglund recently patented the Chill Pak, a cooling system for computer laptops, which were identified in a recent study as the culprits behind lowering sperm counts in men.
The whole article awaits.
