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 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. |

Has anyone ever become fan-sick or fan-injured? Why does there only seem to be fan-death? You would think at least one person would have survived a near fan-death and have a fan death-survivor story.

Y'know, the ultimate way to get away with murder here would be to smother someone with their pillow, then turn on their fan and close all the windows.
Maybe the fan deaths in the news are really the work of a serial killer. |
