Fan Death

It's hot and muggy. Sometimes its hard to tell if it is going to rain because it has rained all night, and it looks wet outside. So I put my clothes on, expecting to need long sleeves. And then I get outside. Its soooo hot and wet feeling. long sleeves were a bad choice. Such a strange thing to be unfamiliar with. I have opted for dresses and skirts out of necessity. They allow enough flow so that I stay cool in the humid heat and I can wear long sleeves to keep warm, because the air conditioning is sooo cold.

I bought a fan the other day and I can already tell that it was a very good investment. I don't like air conditioners a whole lot and mine won't turn off unless I unplug it. I swear I have tried every combination on the planet, yet my air conditioner's remote does not like me, and will just beep and change the force that the air blows.

Anyway, where I am headed with this is the fact that Koreans believe that fans and air conditioners are supposed to be deadly.
Its true. Here is a quote from Wikipedia, but their are many more sources on the subject... just google fan death.

• That an electric fan creates a vortex, which sucks the oxygen from the enclosed and sealed room and creates a partial vacuum inside.

• That an electric fan chops up all the oxygen particles in the air leaving none to breathe.

• That if the fan is put directly in front of the face of the sleeping person, it will suck all the air away, preventing one from breathing.
  

• That fans contribute to hyperthermia, commonly known as heatstroke.^[3]

• That fans contribute to prolonged asphyxiation due to environmental oxygen displacement or carbon dioxide intoxication.^[3][2][5][6]

These are the reasons that all fans have timers... so we consumers don't die. Please be careful with your fans...
