And how does gravity work?
A team of Argentine scientists, led by Conrado Avendano of the Nascentis Center for Reproductive Medicine in Cordoba, found that placing drops of semen from healthy men under a laptop connected wirelessly to the Internet maims or even kills the sperm cells.
After four hours underneath the WiFi-connected computer, 25% of the sperm had stopped moving and nine percent showed DNA damage. By comparison, semen kept at the same temperature but away from the computer showed just a 14% drop in mobility and only 3% suffered DNA damage.
