Macintosh Laptops

Is it normal for my Macbook Pro to get extremely hot?

Every now and then my macbook pro laptop overheats. I can hear the fans working. But is this normal? Should I be worried?

Don't put it on fabric or on your lap, put it on a book, or buy a cooling mat in a computer shop. (trays with fans built into them to keep the computer cool)

Edit: Lol @Raven, I'm voting you for best answer.
