Ditching Work by Killing Yourself

This one is for the cubicle-bound. How many times have you said, "If I have to go to one more meeting, I'll kill myself!" ? Well, apparently the fine folks at the Cartoon Network's AdultSwim had the same thought. With a web game on their site, you can live that fantasy. Five Minutes to Kill (Yourself) puts you in an office where you have exactly five minutes to off yourself before a meeting starts using objects found around the cubicle domain. It may seem like a long time, but fives minutes goes by quickly when you realized the office is a rather ineffective place to commit suicide. Stapling yourself to death? Come on... Of course, you can always speed things up by offending your co-workers to the point that they lash out. There are plenty of other clever methods to discover, though the game gets kinda dull after two plays. Besides, if the office environments I've worked in had that dramatic action movie soundtrack in the background, I'd have never felt a need to stick my head in a paper shreader.
