5 Minutes to Kill Yourself
An amusing new flash game really "takes a stab" at the cubicle world. Just read this description: "Stan is in hell. He lives the day-in, day-out workaday life of a cube jockey. A last-minute meeting request pushes him over the edge. As Stan, you wander the office space finding ingenious ways to hurt him until Stan’s health is completely drained. He has but five minutes—if he can’t do it by then, he’s doomed to sit through yet another boring meeting. You’re Stan’s only hope."

Mel Gibson Quits Hollywood on Dry Erase Board
"Jenny" showed the world the most awesome way to quit your job of all time (if you're not Steven Slater): Take a sequence of photos explicitally shaming your boss on a dry erase board, email the office then have 210,000+ people share it on Facebook. Yes, the Jenny stunt wasn't real. Her name is Elyse Porterfield. Whatever. But Mel Gibson doesn't care. He released his own 33-picture resignation ... to Hollywood. There's no way this one can be a hoax, either:
