something to think about while sitting at your PlayStation....
Man dies after 49 hours of computer games

SEOUL, South Korea --A 28-year-old South Korean man died of exhaustion in an Internet cafe after playing computer games non-stop for 49 hours, South Korean police said Wednesday.

Lee, a resident in the southern city of Taegu who was identified only by his last name, collapsed Friday after having eaten minimally and not sleeping, refusing to leave his keyboard while he played the battle simulation game Starcraft.

Lee had been fired from his job last month because he kept missing work to play computer games, police said.
