Taken from the game page itself:
“Karoshi” is a Japanese word and means “death by overwork”. In this game many things are not what you’d expect and the goal of each level is counter-intuitive: you need to die.

If you have played the Game Maker version, YES this is an official Flash version!

Not difficult really (who doesn’t know how to die??). But still rather addicting (the game I mean, not the dying part).

Karoshi: Suicide Salaryman

A True story…

A taxpayer called up the LHDN (Inland Revenue Board) in Terengganu, and
asked for Form B. The LHDN clerk who answered the call asked for the address to send the form to. The conversation goes:

LHDN CLERK : ‘Boleh bagi alamat encik?’ (Can you give me your address?)

TAXPAYER : ‘Hantar ke Ranhill Worley.’ (Send to Ranhill Worley)

LHDN CLERK : ‘Ranhill… eja macam mana?’ (err… How to spell Ranhill?)

TAXPAYER : ‘R.. for Rumah…
A for Ayam (Chicken)..
N for Nangka (Jackfruit)…
H for Holland (country) …
I for itik (Duck)…
L for lain- lain(Others)….’

LHDN CLERK : ‘Ok.. nanti kami hantar ke alamat tu’
(OK, we will send to that address..)

After waiting for a week, the form arrived - have a look at the address on the envelope!!!

This you really must see…

First one ever made was the game named OXO it seems.

Taken from the video’s description:
Way back in 1958, William Higinbotham invented Tennis For Two to liven up visitor day at Brookhaven National Laboratory, his workplace. The game uses an oscilloscope with two control pads. It remained largely unknown until 1981 when a lawyer trying to break Magnavox’s patent for video games came across writings talking about the game.

Blueprints of it were found to predate Magnavox’s game, the case was settled out of court, and the game found fame as the second ever invented, since it was later predated by A.S. Douglas’ ‘OXO’ game from 1952.

Anyway…
The highest snooker break possible without the benefit of an opponent’s foul is 147. This is known as a maximum break and also regularly called a ‘One-Four-Seven‘. The 147 is amassed by potting all 15 reds with 15 blacks for 120 points then all six colours for a further 27 points.
There are of course breaks exceeding the 147, but as mentioned above, they are possible only with an opponent’s foul.

On to my next point - whether you watch the occasional snooker game on TV.
If you do, then you probably know Ronnie O’Sullivan. Nicknamed “The Rocket” (or more recently “Mr. 147“) due to his rapid playing style, Ronnie is an English professional snooker player, and the reigning 888.com Snooker World Champion. He has been World Champion on three occasions (2001, 2004 and 2008) and is second on the all time prize money list with career earnings of around £5.8 million.

O’Sullivan is considered by his fans, critics, and by many of his fellow professionals such as Steve Davis and Stephen Hendry as the most naturally talented player in the history of the game. He has also been involved in a number of controversial incidents during his career, being a popular figure for many British tabloids.

But enough history lesson, let’s move to the fun stuff.

“An Asiatic Black bear attracted attention in a Japanese zoo, after keepers discovered it spent hours twirling a stick.

The bear, also known as Claude, lives in A-sa Zoo logical park in Hiroshima, and spends hours on his stick, twisting and twirling it.

He’s been obsessed with the sticks since he arrived at the Zoo six years ago after his mother was caught in a trap and killed in the forests of Hiroshima.

Although he had let go of the sticks in the past few years, he recently picked up the habit again.

The zoo has prepared 15 sticks for Claude to play with. It’s unknown whether the bear’s behaviour is dysfunctional, nevertheless Claude has attracted many visitors who want to see his kung-fu exercise.”

Also if you find this joke racist, go bother someone else…

My dear Jagjit,
I am in a well here and hoping you are also in a well there. I’m writing this letter slowly, because I know you cannot read fast. We are not living where we did when you left home. Your dad read in the newspaper that most accidents happen 20 miles from home, so we moved 20 miles.

P.S. : Jagjit, I was going to send you some money but by the time I realized, I had already sealed off this letter.

It’s actually in Belgian, Dutch, Flemish (whatever you call it!), good thing I found the subbed version.
