Fan Death

There is a fact of life if you live in South Korea: Fan Death. I shit you not. If you sleep with a fan on you and your windows closed, you will die.

This is attributed to the death of a 90 year old woman some years ago. She was sleeping in her bed and died of natural causes, but for some reason, the fan was blamed. Hence the legend of fan death was born.

I laughed when I heard it, and I'm sure you're laughing reading this, but seriously, these people literally believe that this can kill you. If you're going to sleep with a fan on you, you should at least open the window. Me? I keep the doors and windows closed with the fan blasting on me every night. I'm not dead yet.

Maybe fan death doesn't afflict foreigners, only Koreans....

And the funnies just keep on coming.
