    Oh wanted to post this one too. Maybe the Internetcafe's should put a limit on each comp so that people can never use it longer than 24 hours on row? (and that seat where the man died is now haunted...)

    I'm guessing Wow as well. However, its pretty stressful working in China, WoW's probly their way of relieving stress.

    my mom always gets freaked out when i take my dinner and plop down in front of my computer. then she screams "get off that seat and eat at the table!" and she goes on to give examples of people who have died while using their computers.
