This actually works *very well*. When in high school I built a laptop
stand using two small blocks of wood and a BBQ rack, with one of
those small hand-held fans attached so it blows upwards.
Just by elevating the laptop and increasing circulation my IBM
Thinkpad runs about 15 degrees cooler.
And the stand, though a bit heavy and not very portable, also made it
more comfortable to type on the laptop when I am slouching in a
couch (you need to cut the wood blocks to a nice angle).

BOOK ...Man had always assumed that he was more
intelligent than
dolphins because he had achieved so much... the
wheel, New York,
wars, and so on, whilst all the dolphins had ever
done was muck
about in the water having a good time. But
conversely the
dolphins believed themselves to be more intelligent
than man for
precisely the same reasons.
