I have slept under this fan for 15 years now and I keep it running almost constantly. It has yet to kill me. It is on at this very moment and I will sleep under it tonight.

I wonder why we haven't see some silly correlation like "breath death." Do you have any idea how many people die shortly after breathing for the last time?

It sounds like you also haven't read the post I linked to.

I actually read it a really long time ago, but I just read it again. Let's review how my scenario is like that which allegedly causes fan death:

* I do not open any windows. Ever. * My fan does not oscillate (it is a ceiling fan). * I sleep directly under it. * I have it on all the time. * We face extreme heat. This is Arizona. It's well over 100 F all summer long, often closer to 110 F. That means 40+ C most of the time, for you metric users. * The humidity is usually low, so if it kills you via evaporating all your sweat, these conditions should dry you out faster than anything else.

I have done this all summer every summer for some 15 years now. I am still alive. Heat stroke can kill you. "Fan death" will not.

The post you linked to was stupid. I did, in fact, read it, and I feel dumber for having done so. I award its author (and you) -1 point, and may God have mercy on both your souls.
