I know it's been beaten to death (or should I say, 'blown to death'), but I thought it was worth posting.

Oh, yes, and shit stinks, at least mine does. Rolling Eyes

My good man, you joined in 2005 and yet you post this newbie tripe! Where have you been the past three years?! I just expected more, son.

The Reuters article reference at the bottom was new, but upon looking up the article (by typing in the title of the article on Google), a contributing writer was Jessica Kim, a Korean. To bunk or not to bunk fan death, it is still just a Korean conundrum.

I would be really impressed if the dudes on Mythbusters on Discovery Channel did a thing on it but it would be busted from the get go, although animal testing would be good and human testing would be the best.

They won't do it because of how retarded the idea of it is. A few friends have requested it and they replied telling them that they should try it out for themselves as there's not even a possibility using a child's logic. You can go request yourself if you'd like though.
