I think the headline says it all: "Work Until You Drop: How the Long-Hours Culture Is Killing US" (and the article is talking about the UK, which is probably still better than the US!) "As well as being bad for individuals, our long-hours culture is also bad for business because lower working hours relate directly to higher productivity. It is no coincidence that the UK has the least-regulated economy in Europe and is the least productive in the industrialised world."

Something else that can kill you: obesity. Well this story is actually about ambulances for obese people, but it also backs up my point about having to adjust (which in many cases includes incurring significant costs) as a result of obesity.

On a cheerier note: this is awesome!! Authors are auctioning off the right to name a character in their books! I think I have a perfect name for that!
