The Myth of Fan Death

Funny thing. In Korea there is a belief that if you leave an electric fan on in an enclosed room it sucks the oxygen out of the room and kills you. Medical professionals believe this. Now I'm not saying the Korean people are any stupider than Americans, but they hold onto these trivial beliefs. The US Beef thing is a huge deal here. Not sure if anyone has noticed state side but in Seoul there were violent protests. Everyone hates the Korean Gov't for lifting a 2003 ban on US beef because of the mad cow scare. It's a real touchy subject. Fear spreads like wildfire. Years earlier there was a chicken scare because of the Avian flu I think. Chickens disappeared from the supermarkets. But dog is a delicacy here. You only see small dogs for pets.
