Five hours a day on the computer could kill you

Quacks working for the University College London have worked out that those who spend more than five hours a day in front of the PC are more likely to croak.

Apparently time spent at a computer is as damaging to the heart as time spent lounging in front of a television screen. People who work on computers or watch television for four or more hours a day are 125 percent more likely to suffer a major heart problem than those who spend two hours or less.

Those who work 9 to 5 on a computer should be popping their clogs at an alarming rate. The study also found a 48 percent increase in deaths of any cause among people who spend excessive time staring at a computer or television screen.
