      I think boredom can drive you mad. But it probably wouldn’t kill you. Why not complete a crossword or enjoy an episode of Columbo if you’re really bored?

      I agree with martin, Though Columbo is before me so I doubt you even know what it is. There really is no reason for anyone to be bored, there is so much fun about, go out and do some sport, watch a tv episode, do a puzzle, ring your mates.

      I think it’s possible to die of apathy but I don’t know about boredom. Perhaps if the boredom leads you to doing something really stupid… If you are really bored check out this amazing light and dance display http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ydeY0tTtF4&feature=youtu.be

      Hmm, it hasn’t happened to me so far. Sometimes doing something with your hands can stop something seeming so boring. I doodle on my notepads all the time. Sometimes I knit, which is great because it stops me from being bored, and I get a scarf out of it. 😉 Not in meetings and lectures though. 😛
