.. Death by Fan!?

[TheDirtyDigger]

my friends daughter had a ceiling fan fall out of the roof onto her when she was about 8

And the doctors called my fear of falling ceiling fans 'unnatural'.
Cretins.

This sounds like a job for .... MYTHBUSTERS!

I believe they already did a fan death-esque myth, decapitation if I remember correctly, this was a good while back when Scotty was still on the build team.

They did and it was decapitation and they pretty much proved it wouldn't kill you, just hurt a lot (The Dudesons also proved this).

This would be a good one for them to test out.

Brings back memories of Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Black Hole.

Such sweet and macabre childhood movie memories.

I can debunk this one myself. I sleep with a fan on in the room almost every night, and have done so for years. I'm still alive, last I checked.

(I fall asleep MUCH easier with a droning noise in the background)

You used to be married too?

Women... You can't live with them, you can't live with them.

Actually I understand where dirge is coming from. I had an old ceiling fan which at the time, may have been older than myself. Had a bit of noise to it, nothing major though but it was eventually replaced. The new one had no noise whatsoever. First night with it was a weird sleep as I always need some form of background noise to drown out my background thoughts.

I'm going to use this next time my wife complains about droning noises....
