    Quick comparison. "Kill" & "Die"

    Kill

    "One of the boys was seen on Chinese television telling police interrogators that he had started the fire in an act of revenge because staff at the cybercafe had refused to let him play computer games there."

    Die

    "A South Korean man died yesterday after playing computer games at an Internet cafe for 86 hours nonstop, reports the Associated Press."

    I have no point, just an observation.
