View Full Version : Death by fan!!!!!!!!!!
Hey guys;
Teaching english in south korea. Babysitting really. But anyways, here is a link to an article that mentions fan death. This is somethin all koreans belive in even thou there is no logic or science to back it up.

I have conversations about fan death with koreans, and they get very angry when ya ask them some simple questions, like...........
Wouldnt people die on a windy day??
Why dont people die of fan death in the us and canada?
The best explanation of fan death I ever heard was this "Ohhh its real. When a mother goes out shopping, and leaves the baby in a crib with the fan on. They can die of fan death. So a good mother wont leave the fan on"
Smoken crack I reckon
I should be dead then.... I leave my fan on all day in a closed room and at night, while my wife, my dog, my cat, and I, sleep. Unless the DC motor in the fan suddenly starts to consume oxygen via combustion, the oxygen stays the same. We are the ones that consume oxygen.... Hey, maybe that's it... I'm a ghost and don't know it. I'm the real "6th Sense" guy.... and my wife, my dog, my cat.....
Boo!!!
Better move my PC away from my desk then and open my windows so that the fan in my air conditioner doesn't kill me. But the cool air will then escape :(

i got 2 fans on 24/7! I am screwed!
With the number of fans in my computers (33 at last count, between 3 desktops and a laptop) all I'd have to do to kill myself is turn them on ;D
Besides, I'm not counting the ceiling fan... ;D
great geek, your gonna kill us all, thx alot for killing ussssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Approximately 16 hours of the 24 hour day, there are 5 2,000 CFM fans going in my house. The remaining 8 hours sees 3 of those fans going. So at any given time, there's 6-10,000 CFM moving through my house. Plus all four of my computers which has a combined output of 600 CFM.
I've also slept six inches away from, and directly in the path of one said fan all seventeen years of my life. My father's been doing it for 48 years, my mother for 45..Etcetera. We're not dead yet!
Death by fan my ass. ;D
This could kill us all ;D
I want one. Build a square around it and put the computer in it- basically a giant fan shroud with everything from the computer in it :D

<b>I'LL KILL YOU. STAB YOU WITH A FORK AND TEAR YOUR GONADS OUT THROUGH YOUR NOSTRILS. I'M GOING CHRISTIAN JUST SO I CAN PRAY FOR YOUR CHOKING ON A HUNK OF STEAK AND MY BEING THERE JUST SO I CAN LAUGH AT YOU FOR CHOKING ON A PIECE OF MEAT. CHOKING ON A PRETZEL ISN'T FUNNY. PEOPLE DIE EVERY YEAR FROM IT, THEY CHOKE ON CANDY. LITTLE BABY KIDDIES CHOKE ON A LOLLY POP AND DROP THE HELL DEAD. OLD MEN CHOKE ON MASHED POTATOES AND DIE BEFORE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO! KITTENS CHOKE ON CRUNCHIES AND DIE...GOD DAMMIT MAN. <FONT SIZE=7>THINK OF THE KITTENS</FONT>. YOU'RE DEAD BLONDIE! YOU'LL NEVER BREATHE IN THIS TOWN AGAIN!</B>

No. You'll get whistle tips and flashlights taped to your hood with duct tape when I bust your headlights.
