Jay481985 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Ok not fan death related to being a fan or groupie.... but as the heatwave hit all of America, I slept with the fan on in my room. My parents see this and went absolutely crazy and started lecturing and yelling at me.... I went huh, well they said that people die when fans are placed on their body over night.... I said show me the proof? They gave horror stories of the body becoming swollen and people dying for having the fan on at night in a closed room. As I tried to reason I went to google where the first sentence was "Fan death is a false belief that originated in South Korea" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_death They tried to say it removes the oxygen from the room. I blink and stare saying its not a coal heater (hey my parents are old enough to remember coal heaters in their house) I get yelled at......... Anywho, what are your thoughts? I am looked at by my parents like I commited murder when I told them I do not agree with them..... this IMHO is moral panic and urban legend that people wholeheartedly believe too much... They do not even question the thought because a newspaper or the news broadcasted the idea.... hmmm sounds similiar (pun intended) to the crack epidemic of the 90's where if we do not do anything the moral of "traditional values" will be lost.... Guess what 10 years later and a little wiser, we find it did not destroy familes and rip this very nation apart like the so called politicians citing "its in the best interest" to lock up and throw the keys away of crack users.... I am not saying crack is a good thing but some things the newspapers see and clearly overblow the situation.... Eh relax guys its only a fan on a hot summer night..........

jacksonbart Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Worse case you get a sore muscle, due to the cool air blowing in one spot while you sleep, best case is that you get a great night sleep. Its a toss up, get an oscillating fan that is UL certified and keep it away from curtains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Too Funny! I don't see anything wrong with a fan in warm/hot weather.I know several people that sleep with a fan year round,they get used to the sound.I use my ceiling fan if it's really hot instead of lowering the a/c.

oldtimer Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Sadly, many old people die during heat waves because they won't open the windows and turn on a fan because of some idea about "drafts." Edit: Jay, get a real quiet fan...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkside Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Well, in my case, here in the southeast, I keep my ceiling fan on almost year round. It keeps me cool and the sound helps me sleep, but never any soreness or death(<=== obviously)[:|] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 This is all very interesting. My old Farm house had huge cast iron radiators and horribly leaky windows. I had an old timer hydronic heat guy there who explained why the systems were so large in the olden days. Seems that before modern medicine, people thought that winter colds were brought on by the 'bad' indoor air, so heat systems were oversized so you could crack a window even in the winter. On a related note, Purdue University still has 'cold air dorms' where the windows are left open in the winter. A friend of mine lives there so I know this to be the case. Regarding the fans, I use a small one because the white noise blocks out air traffic. That bit about them using up the oxygen is hilarious.

oldtimer Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 OK, I have constructed a scenario where this might work. First you need an airtight or near airtight room. Then run a fan with some electrical issues so that it produces a lot of ozone. Now ozone is good way up in the atmosphere, but bad to inhale a lot of. Now add in someone with a condition like asthma, really bad asthma, and maybe that person could die? I don't know, it's better (for me) thinking that I have reached a new plateau of the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realized you meant southern America after you said the mason dixon.... heh I thought you meant north and south well the article kinda tells you what country I am from. I was not trying to make fun of your education but heck it just shows that people get lost in even stupid things when highly educated... My father is technically a phd or masters (its weird since at the time it was considered phd but now its considered masters) of science in the field of vetrinarian.......... Just I guess smile and laugh at human nature??? even the brightest and most educated are victims to false beliefs etc..... I just smile and nod when they say that and leave my fan on at night (well not anymore, damn you 10 dollar walmart fan from china.... just kidding it was but it's 4 years old.... heck its served its life and then some for the price) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two miles down the road at Joe's Tavern, Billy Bub was drinking it up with Jerry Lee Jones. Billy Bub soon left and got into his old, rusty pickup truck. He proceeded down the road trying his best to stay on the right side. All of a sudden Billy Bub spotted the most unbelievable sight of his life! He drove to the nearest phone booth and dialed the number for Joe's Tavern and asked for his buddy, Jerry Lee. When Jerry Lee got on the phone, Billy Bub said, "Whatever you do when you leave that tavern, don't go north on route 109. The state police are giving a sobriety test that nobody can pass!" You might be a redneck if you think fast food is hitting a deer at 60 miles an hour. There was this redneck that walked into a ... There was this redneck that walked into a bar and ordered a beer. While he was waiting on his drink he noticed a jar of money sitting on the counter. When the bartender came back the redneck asked the bartender about the money. The bartender replied, "Well, this money is for the goat we have outside." The redneck was puzzled so he asked again. "What exactly is this money for." The bartender replied. "Well, We have a goat outside and he just lays there and never moves or hollers or anything and who ever can make him holler gets this money." So the redneck finished him beer and goes outside. He comes back in and the goat is laughing so hard and can't stop. The bartender askes how he did it and the Redneck won't answer. So the redneck walks out of the bar with the money. A week later the Redneck comes in and sees the same bartender. He orders the same thing. And this time he sees another jar of money. He askes the bartender what this money was for. The bartender replies "Well, ever sence you got that goat to laugh, we can't get him to stop. So we made another jar. Who ever can get that goat to stop laughing gets the money." So, just like last time he finished his beer and went out side. Well when he came in, the goat was crying. The bartender was wondering how he did it and the redneck replied, "A redneck never lets out his secrets." So, he took his money and left. About a week later the redneck came back and he saw another jar of money. So, he asked the bartender what this jar was. The bartender replied "Well, you have us all wondering how you did it. First you made him laugh then you made him cry and we want to know how you did it." The redneck just sat there laughing. He says "Well, to make him laugh, I told him my penis was bigger than his and to make him cry, well, I proved it to him." Highly Illogical Two rednecks, Bubba and Cooter, decided that they weren't going anywhere in life and thought they should go to college to get ahead. Bubba goes in first, and the professor advises him to take math, history and logic. "What's logic?" asked Bubba. The professor answered, "Let me give you an example. Do you own a weed-whacker?" "I sure do," answered the redneck. "Then I can assume, using logic, that you have a yard," replied the professor. "That's real good," the redneck responded in awe. The professor continued, "Logic will also tell me that since you have a yard, you also have a house." Impressed, the redneck shouted, "AMAZIN'!" "And since you own a house, logic dictates that you have a wife." "Betty Mae! This is incredible!" "Finally, since you have a wife, logically I can assume that you are heterosexual," said the professor. "You're absolutely right! Why, that's the most fascinatin' thing I ever heard of! I cain't wait to take this here logic class." Bubba, proud of the new world opening up to him, walked back into the hallway where Cooter is still waiting. "So, what classes are ya takin?" he asks. "Math, history and logic," replies Bubba. Cooter says, "What in tarnation is logic?" "Let me give you an example. Do ya own a weed-eater?" "No." "You're gay, ain't ya?"

Hope you are. Tell Brother Walt and Brother Elmer the Marine Corps beats working for old man Minch by a mile. Tell them to join up quick before maybe all of the places are filled. I was restless at first because you got to stay in bed till nearly 6 a.m., but am getting so I like to sleep late. Tell Walt and Elmer all you do before breakfast is smooth your cot and shine some things. No hogs to slop, feed to pitch, mash to mix, wood to split, fire to lay. Practically nothing. Men gots to shave but it is not so bad, as they get warm water. Breakfast is strong on trimmings like fruit juice, cereal, eggs, bacon, etc..., but kind of weak on chops, potatoes, black eyed peas, grits, fried eggplant, pie and other regular food. But tell Walt and Elmer you can always sit between two city boys that live on coffee. Their food plus yours holds you till noon, when you get fed again. It's no wonder these city boys can't walk much. We go on "route" marches, which the Platoon Sergeant says are long walks to harden us. If he thinks so, it is not my place to tell him different. A "route march" is about as far as to our mailbox at home. Then the city guys gets sore feet and we all ride back in trucks. The country is nice, but awful flat. The Sergeant is like a schoolteacher. He nags something awful. The Capt. is like the school board. Majors and Colonels just ride around and frown. They don't bother you none. This next will kill Walt and Elmer with laughing. I keep getting medals for shooting. I don't know why. The bulls-eye is near as big as a chipmunk and don't move. And it ain't shooting at you, like the Higgett boys at home. All you got to do is lie there all comfortable and hit it. You don't even load your own cartridges. They come in boxes. Be sure to tell Walt and Elmer to hurry and join before other fellers get into this setup and come stampeding in. Your loving daughter, Gail Stayin' Alive A cowboy told his grandson the secret to a long life. He said, "You gotta sprinkle a little gunpowder on your oatmeal, see. If you do, you'll live to a nice ripe old age." So the cowboy did this religiously every day, and sure enough, lived to the nice ripe old age of 96.

A Letter From A Redneck Mother To Her Son Dear Son, I'm writing this slow 'cause I know you can't read fast. We don't live where we did when you left. Your dad read in the paper that most accidents happen within twenty miles of home, so we moved. Won't be able to send you the address as the last Arkansas family that lived here took the numbers with them for their house, so they wouldn't have to change their address. This place has a washing machine. The first day I put four shirts in it, pulled the chain and haven't seen 'em since. It only rained twice this week, three days the first time and four days the second time. The coat you wanted me to send to you, Aunt Sue said it would be a little too heavy to send in the mail with them heavy buttons, so we cut them off and put them in the pockets. We got a bill from the funeral home, and it said if we didn't make the final payment on Grandma's funderal bill, up she comes. About your sister, she had a baby this morning. I haven't found out whether if it is a boy or a girl so don't know if you are an Aunt or Uncle. Your Uncle John fell in the whiskey vat. Some men tried to get him out, but he fought them off playfully, so he drowned. We cremated him and he burned for three days. Three of your friends went off the bridge in a pickup. One was driving and the other two were in the back. The driver got out. He rolled down the window and swam to safery. The other 2 drowned. They couldn't get the tail gate down. Not much more news this time. Nothing much happened. If you don't get this letter, please let me know and I will send another one.
