I've been sleeping with a ceiling fan on for years and in the summer I sit a box fan at the end of the bed if the ceiling fan isn't giving enough cooling/circulation......as far as I can tell I'm still alive.

Damn, I knew I was living on the wild side!! I take my life into my hands every night in the summer if this is true! That's right, I'm a bad boy living on the edge of death, I have fan blowing in my face as I type this. Do I care? Hell no.

<< ......as far as I can tell I'm still alive. >>



Could you please clue me on the exact steps one takes to make this determination? Cause sometimes I have to wonder about myself

&quot;your mom is dumb.&quot;

WTF?
Was that a really necessary comment?
I most certainly don't think so and clearly illustrates your own limited capabilites.

is it bad for u if u talk into a fan so u get that funny voice?, my family always gets mad and says its bad for ur throat? also does masturbation realy lead to hairy hands, because my arms and legs are harry, does that mean somthing weird?

Judging by the mistake YOUR mother made I would say she isn't a Rhodes Scholar either.

I dont think so.. my mom never said that.. spent 18 yrs under a fan... at high speed.. in the summer have to sleep with the fan.. have to have air blowing over my body.

 

[GoWaldo]

my mommy says normal things like:
&quot;don't play with fire&quot; and
&quot;eat your spinach&quot; and
&quot;when i was your age..&quot; and
&quot;don't chew with your mouth full&quot; and
&quot;where are my cigarettes?&quot; and
&quot;what the hell is wrong with you son, you dumbass&quot;

Dear Sweet Mother

&quot;your a f'n accident u moron&quot;..my dad said that, whats he mean, is that like accident waiting to happen?

 

[CuriousAndy]

Actually... it's not so much asian moms as Korean moms.

Anyways, here it is from straightdope:

Interesting...my parents were lying to me all along

My dad told me to leave a window or a door open when I sleep with a fan on. I understood him when he said it was for air circulation, but then he started telling me stories about people who died because they slept with the fan on. :disgust:

 

[monto]

i'm chinese and my mom told me to not use the fan while sleeping, mostly to cut down on electricity bills

 

[tkim]

if you all didnt know (by my name) i am korean. any yes i have heard this. i wonder too. the thing is, have you ever stuck you head out of a car window (at a modest speed) and tried to inhale?? it is hard!! there have been times when i could not get a breath in!! why i dont know. dont get me wrong, its not for a long period, maybe for a split second. go figure
