According to Snopes, "There are other, more loony, theories about what causes fan death. One asserts the fan's blades chop up oxygen into carbon dioxide, rendering such mutilated air unbreathable."

...We are still the same credulous shit-for-brains collective Twain & Mencken mocked a long time ago. We live in a country where snopes.com is a *necessary* thing. Who the hell are we to mock the irrationality of others, elsewhere?
