Science Shows You Can Die of Boredom, Literally

 

How does being bored increase the speed of your demise?

 

Published on March 3, 2010 by Todd B. Kashdan, Ph.D.

 

...

 

The more bored you are, the more likely you are to die prematurely

 

...

 

Over 7,500 London civil servants aged between 35 and 55 were interviewed in the late 1980's. Among other questions, they were asked if they felt bored at work during the past month. These same people were tracked down to find out who died by April 2009. What the researchers found was that civil servants who reported being very bored were 2.5 times more likely to die of a heart problem than those who hadn't reported being bored. You might be asking yourself, what the %$#@ does this mean? To put this into perspective, consider this fact by the American Heart Association: Smokers are two to four times likely to develop coronary heart disease than nonsmokers. People with a molotov cocktail of obesity, high blood pressure, and high blood sugar (that is, all three at once) are twice as likely to have a heart attack and three times more likely to die earlier than the rest of the population. This means that death by boredom is right up there with the favorite targets of media fear mongering, public policy, and pharmaceutical companies. Nobody is talking about boredom while people whine and die quietly at workplaces around the world.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

i'm doomed

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

hopefully the next life is less boring.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

but i'll still be me so... ah well.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

i'd spam about it some more but... i'm afraid it would contribute to the early deaths of other members.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

meh. spam is pam. it's all boring anyway.

 

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

spam is spam. not pam. pam's probably not spam.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

on an unrelated note. one of my favorite movies ever.

 

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

another of my favorite movies. alone in the wilderness. guy spent 35 years in a cabin. alone in the wilderness. and he was ever bored, he didn't mention it.

 

whole thing's online.

 

this is part 1.

 

 

if youre into it you can follow the links to the rest of it.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

another one of my favoites, and one i have to watch very soon because it's seasonal, is the hebrew hammer. it's also available on you tube whole, but it's rated R, so if you're interested, just google it.

 

it's a jewxploitation film, and it's about how the hebrew hammer saves christmas. and stuff. and things.

[Leelou]

It's 19 out. Brrrrrrr!

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

the warmest the alone in the wilderness guy could get his cabin in winter, which was 7 months long up there, was 40. it was 40 below zero outside most of the time.

 

he didnt even wear gloves most of the time, crazy old man.
