Very important!!
Tell your sons/daughters about it.
A well known family in Mequon lost their 25 year old son
(Arun Gopal Ratnam) in a fire at home June 4th.
This is what happened.
He graduated with MBA from University of Wisconsin-Madison
two weeks earlier and came home. Had a lunch with his dad at home and decided to go back to clean up his room at school. His Father told him to wait and see his mother before he goes back for a few days. He decided to take a nap while waiting for his mom to come home from work.
Neighbors called 911 when they saw black smoke coming out of the house.
Their 25 year old son Arun died in the three year old house.
It took several days of investigation to find out the cause of the fire.
It was determined that the fire was caused by lap top in the bed.
When the lap top is on the bed cooling fan does not get air to cool the computer and that is what caused the fire.
Uneven surface of the bedsheet has blocked the air intake vent below the cpu fan. When the laptop is placed on a flat surface i.e. on desk/table,
there is a gap between the desk surface and the base of the casing
to allow air to flow/suck in through the air intake vent
by the cpu fan to cool the cpu. This paragraph is added in by sender for better understanding of the senerio.
He did not even wake up to get out of the bed he died of carbon monoxide (CO). The reason I'm writing this to all of you is that I have seen all of us using our lap top in bed. Let us all decide and make it a practice not to do that.
Risk is real.
Let us make it a rule not to use lap top in bed or put computer on bed with blankets and pillows around. Broadcast this message & you may save others
thankz 100x,keep up.
Thanks for sharing, I knew about it and just recently I was watching a program in Discovery, where the investigators were in total puzzle to find bodies of burnt victims and in most cases in the condition they were sitting or sleeping without any struggle to escape from the fire. In most cases they found that half of their lower bodies in perfect condition while other half in ashes. Later, they concluded that most of these victims had died due to simple things that started the smoke and later fire, such as cigarette buds, short circuits due to improper insulation of electric wires, over heating of electronic equipment’s on beds, carpets etc...
Please take your own safety measures and be careful. every has to die one or the other day, let’s make sure we die decent.
Please...
That's unexpected!
LP: Lap Tops on laps of men can lead to a low sperm count - That's my excuse anyway!
thanks for sharing Information....

I don't understand why some people ride a motorbike in the kitchen.
The Filipino motorcycle riding habits and their own road gayness is killing them by the dozen every day.
You haven’t been to the Philippines kitchen streets, were motorcycle riders ride with their children without helmets, exceeding the sitting capacity, Zigzagging and intruding the blind side and opposite directional traffic lanes like they own the streets or they think they are cars. Tell of the tale.
A 'Laptop' is meant to be on top of your lap. If it gets hot, you will surely feel it. So, use the laptop on top of your lap and you won't die. I don't understand why some people ride a motorbike in the kitchen.
useful info,thnks for sharing
