Aug. 12th, 2005 07:49 amHere is my favorite story from today's Arizona Republic:
"SEOUL, South Korea - A 28-year-old man died of an apparent heart attack after playing computer games non-stop for 49 hours in an Internet cafe, police said.
The man, identified only by his last name, Lee, collapsed Friday after having eaten minimally and not sleeping. He had refused to leave his keyboard while he played the battle-simulation game Starcraft, police said.
Lee, a resident in the southern city of Taegu, was quickly moved to a hospital but died after a few hours, due to what doctors believed was a heart attack, police said.
Lee had been fired from his job last month because he kept missing work to play computer games, police said.
Computer games are enormously popular in South Korea, home to professional gamers who earn big money through sponsorships and television stations devoted to broadcasting matches."
Hehehe. I only JOKE about calling in sick to work to go see Episode III again or to play the Sith Playstation game with my bro. This guy is my hero! No sleep???????? Jeez.

I'm glad I stopped and got gas this afternoon, even if I WAS ticked off at paying $4.35 for it when it was $4.19 in Danbury when I left there!!!

I saw cheap gas yesterday... $3.99!
