I'm living proof that orange rooms do not make kids psychotic - had an orange room from the age of 4 to 19. [img]tongue.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]*cough* No I won't comment.

Dafan, those values are way too low! If a human lung can't contain more than 4 liters we would be panting all the time. Look at the original saying again "The average human lung holds 3.5 liters of air.". I interpret that as stating the total, or maximum, lung capacity. If you take a deep breath and exhale you don't empty the lungs so there is still air in them. Therefore it is obvious that a lung can contain more air than you are able to exhale.

A chinese got blind after 10h of playing Diablo (using a 50 Hz monitor). I played more than 12 hours and nothing happen to me. If the population of China walked past you in single file, the line would never end because of the rate of reproduction Not really, unless in the future males can mate with males Japan has the highest suicide rate in the world. In second place comes Sweden. eyup. The movie Daredevil was banned in Malaysia, because after cutting the violent scenes, the movie was to short to be shown (just 7% left of the original movie). ahh, but they didn't really ban it, you can still find the vcd in the street market South-Korea has its own TV-channel for Starcraft darn Koreans got nothing better to do. Robin Williams plays Warcraft III so what? Arsene Wenger play championship manager.

[/QUOTE]All I know is that there was a case in which a 24-year-old South Korean man died after playing games for 86 (!) hours in a row. Not sure if he played Diablo II as well, though.
But that was in the news a while ago.

Just to add to these two that the first one is definately correct. It occurred on 27th August 1896, starting at 9.02am, and the turning point was when the entire Zanzibar navy (an ocean tramp named The Glasgow) was sunk with only two shells at 9.15am. The pretender Sultan of Zanzibar surrendered at 9.40.

Robin Williams may well play Warcraft III as I've heard a rumour that he has an Eldar army for Warhammer 40K. Power gaming bastard... [img]tongue.gif[/img]
