It's pretty cool how a silly rumour can reach the point where a whole nation believes it to be true. | ||

Edit: To be clear, this is obviously bullshit. I just mean that saying "Well I've slept with a fan a lot and I'm not dead!" isn't the way to go about proving that. | ||

Ignoring the fact that these "fan victims" had health problems, were elderly, or massively intoxicated, this would seem to indicate that fans do actually cause death. Somehow. Well, obviously the fans aren't doing anything but pushing air, so this must mean that they somehow create a "vortex" that, while not completely devoid of oxygen, somehow is fatal to humans. Or EM waves. Or uhm... yeah, they ionize the... air.... and that kills you. Remember, folks, this is the country where people hang up plastic gloves filled with water "to keep flies away." And boil cats alive and drink the concoction "to help rheumatism." | ||

That fans contribute to hypothermia, or abnormally low body temperature. And right after: That fans contribute to hyperthermia, commonly known as heatstroke | ||

So I suppose that if we're talking about a.. - town with very low humidity - some very old man - who already wasn't well hydrated before going to bed (wikipedia says old ppl don't feel the effects of it as well) - old man already have heart health issues (we all heard of old ppl dying of heart attacks because of very small rate increases) Then I suppose it's plausible for old guy to die at night of heart attack. And one of the many things that helped the heart attack could be... the fan... lol | ||
