Brilliant way to ruin your laptop
Apple's laptops are designed so that the heat from the processor dissipates through the bottom and through the keyboard. From an engineer's point of view, the keyboard is an essential vent for the processor and should never be blocked while the machine is running. It's not just the screen you should be worried about; it's your processor overheating that's the main danger. If you haven't run into any problems yet, consider yourself lucky and be happy with that, but don't encourage anyone else to risk ruining their machine.

If this is truly a problem, then what about all those times that I run my PB closed while connected to an external monitor? The same amount of heat is produced, and if the processor overheats in this state (an Apple approved operating state), then I'd say there's a serious design flaw.
