Daegu Fan Death!!!!!!!!

Dude in Daegu keeled over dead. The culprit...another one of those evil fans.

If they believe in this shiat...why is there no warning label on fans?

There is a warning label on fans. That's also the reason they come with a timer.

Lol..i never saw the warning. The one I have didn't. Can I sue if I get sick or hurt? If there's a fan death...there's got to be a fan injury/illness.

How many days do you think I can get off?

"I can't come in, I have fan death."
"But you aren't dead."
"Yes I am."

I have to shake my head every time I see this. I've been racking my brain trying to think of any belief (non-religious) that comes close to this in the West, to no avail. Any takers?

Going into water less than one hour after eating will cause you to die.

I would say the last one is widely held like fan death. (High power lines near your home will give you cancer, etc. People have a very hard time selling their home these days if it's located near such power lines.) The first few are popular but not so widely held, I think. Don't swim for 2 hours after you eat is another one that I think is fan deathy.
