coroner's report

Do you think it's possible to die of boredom?

I do.

Sometimes in class I'm so bored that I lose all focus on the task at hand (holding up the walls, errr, I mean, teaching English) and start drifting off, standing. I think it's perfectly possible for me to get so bored that I become only semi-conscious while standing, suddenly jerk awake, lose my footing, fall, hit my head on the edge of a desk on my way down, and DIE.
