And we do the same thing with the 13th floor in the West. |

I've been in many a building that had a thirteenth floor. I lived on one for 5 years. The absence of a fourth is nearly ubiquitous here. |

Wow, Captain Korea, can you be any more vague?! Sheesh...yeah, we know where you stand.  |
How much more specific can I be? i mean seriously, I know this doesn't work most of the time because I've slept in those conditions and lived to tell the tale. That being said, perhaps there's a margin of success with it and if trials were held, 1% would prove it to be possible.
Is there anyone on this board who is saying that it is absolutely impossible to die in those conditions?
From what I've read (and mostly what I feel as well), is that there'd have to be a number of specific things happening to even make this possible. And I (and others) are curious as to how much of a role the fan plays in it (if at all). |

A (remote) possibility, sure. But what are the odds? I'd rather people were concerned with real issues. Alcoholism, smoking and reckless driving come to mind. |

Total agreement. I usually bring up traffic fatalities when someone mentions odd-ball death scenarios like this.
But that being said, it's something we've all heard... many times. And I thought that this 'new' theory had more beef than most of the old ones. |
