An anonymous reader writes "Maybe we should have listened to our parents and gone outside instead of playing video games. In newly published study in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, heavy computer users were 74% more likely to develop visual field problems as compared baseline in a group of 10,202 randomly selected workers. Furthermore, heavy computer users were found to be 81% more likely to develop glaucoma."

    No, you will get a bunch of sarcastic mods. I'll probably get modded down for this but mods always do the opposite of what you tell them. For pointing that out I deserve a +1 insightful.
    And that is how you create a moderation singularity!

    What brain-dead mod (is that redundant?) modded this guy Offtopic? It was a perfectly Ontopic use of sarcasm.

    This just shows the inability of most people to appreciate subtle humor.

    I wish I had points so I could mod you higher. Maybe someone else will be kind and do so.
