Beware! Sitting at your PC can kill you !

i was browsing around Google News and came across this story i found intresting and thought some of you would as well, being that most if not all of us here sit at our computers for hours on end.

HAH.. that's great..

I'm going to use that at the school...

all my classes are done in 2 or 3 hour blocks. this will be a good way to get extended breaks... They dont' wanna risk a lawsuit

great find drag0nsfyre

actually, i learnt all of that and more during my Network+ Collage days.. we had a subject called OHS (Occupational Health and Safety). which i unfortunately failed coz the teacher lost my records. u have no idea how many employers asked me about my fail in OHS, some of them had the impression that im a walking Danger Zone lol.

So... it is my PC that is killing me?!?!?

All this time I thought it was the Burger King, bacon egg and cheese bagels, Wendys, cheese steaks, alcohol and smoke that was killing me....

Damn... guess I'll have to give up some computer time.... :(
