I work at a call center and today a customer called and had mentioned that you can die from sitting. I thought this was funny. I mean I sit pretty much all day. I get up and sit at my computer for several hours. I go to work and sit. Any time I’m traveling I sit. Any way I decided to see if this was true and googled “Sitting can kill you” and actually had some interesting findings.

Turns out 2Million people get Deep-Vein Thrombosis (DVT) per year and out of them 300,000 die. Not so funny any more.
