Yeah, every year at least one Korean guy dies playing Lineage II for 3+ days without stopping.

Some interesting points about the kimchi/cancer link; I didn't know it was popular in Hawaii. But I must reply, though, that the Japanese do eat kimchi, just not in the same delirious amounts that Koreans do. There, of course, it is called kimuchi.

Ugh, fan death. I start most of my courses with a unit on why fan death is impossible...

In response to #10, Kimchi and cancer: http://www.boingboing.net/2006/05/21/too-much-kimchi-migh.html

After living in Korea for the past four years, I can honestly say that Koreans are obsessed with kimchi. You can buy air conditioners with kimchi-based filters, for example. Kimchi has been cited as the reason Korea avoided SARS, and a virtual cure-all. A few years ago, some Korean researchers found that the reason Koreans have such a high rate of stomach and intestinal cancer is because of the overconsumption of fermented foods like kimchi. No Korean journal would publish their findings, so they had to publish in China.

Hanguk saranghaeyo!
