I hope I'm not repeating a topic here.
There is an urban legend in Korea. Some people believe that if you fall asleep with a fan running, it can kill you. Here's an actual Korean news report: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqGluU6SfaU here's the wiki entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_death I'm thinking about this because I just bought a fan and it has a timer on it.

Dude, yes. I heard a report on NPR a few months ago and was fascinated. It's so weird what people will actually believe. I saw a short korean video made by college students about fan death - it was like a warning movie - they actually believed in it.

Ah, but you won't be able to tell people tomorrow, will you? Y'know why? Cos the teachers are on strike. Either that, or a fan will come over and fan you to death while you sleep.

Amazing facts number 23: Everyone under 35 in Bristol has been in Massive Attack for at least 2 weeks.
EDIT: Oh for God's sake, this should be in the random thingy thread.

This is worse than believing in Christianity.

If you put your hands into a running fan, you could die. I imagine if you dreamed that you had to put your hands into a fan and really did it (dreaming), you would die in your sleep. The pain might wake you up, though, no?
Shit, my mom used a fan all the time to lull me to sleep when I was a toddler. There's a fan running in the summer for the air conditioning when the little woman and me's asleep. This is bullshit. I like the phrase, though. Fan Death. It has layers. A great band name, potentially.

You know, Massive Attack has only ever consisted of three core members, so as a joke,... I don't get it. The blazin Squad one works better, "they say in a city your never more than 10 meters away from a member of Blazin Squad", or summat like that. |

This is actually true. I am in Bristol, and under 35, and I played ukelele with them for precisely 17 days. Consecutively, continuously.

I think everyone in the souther US states sleeps with a fan on every day
going up north and to th west coast it always strikes me as odd that the homes do not come with ceiling fans
