From the article...
Quoting witnesses, police detective Oh Myong-sik in Kwangju said the man had been virtually glued to the computer since late Friday...

And -- I know, Newsfilter. But this story was so obscure that I could only find it on the Norwegian site above -- and as an added bonus, it has nothing to do with war, our President, politics in general, or Iraq.

Besides, EIGHTY-SIX HOURS! Jeezum crow.
