A bunch of bullshit like. The amount of energy needed to create a vortex would be immense. The pressure and thinness of the blades would have to be thin on a molecular level to effect that of the unseen.

Didn't expect a guy like you to say that.

The only plausible death scenario would be if you were in a room closed with no means of oxygen getting in and the fan just blowing back the carbon dioxide you emit.

A fan does not make much of a difference to give you hypothermia either. You would wake up as the slight heat change if you had your fan on during a hot summer night.

Um im still here my fan has not taken me out yet but i will keep an eye on it from now on. that was one of the strangest articles i read today but then again its only 9:30am.

Thanks for the links, MMM... this made my evening =)

No offence, but these people must be rather... uneducated to believe this load of bulls... tomato fertilizer.

As for the vortex thing... well sure, if you sport a black hole-type of AC units... those with microwave emitter emulation and magnetic sticker backer.

This is just funny enough to be investigated more in depth. While in the same time it's sad to see a nation being brainwashed with such preposterous rubbish and the way mass media is taking active part in it.

Is there anyone in the audience kind enough to provide a link to a web resource containing more information on the subject described above (English language would be greatly appreciated).

Did I imply I believed in it? If so, make no mistake. I don't.
