So, in Korea many Koreans believe in a phenomena they call 'Fan death'. They believe that if you have a fan on in a room and you have all the windows closed the fan will suck all the air out of the room and you will die.


Also, here in China every Chinese person that I've asked about this agrees that if you cook eggs and potato together it will kill you, or at the very least it will make you ill.


WTF? :?

    They might be right, in a fucked up, cosmic, anti-logical and intuitive sort of way.

    My Mum used to make me egg and potato pies all the time. You can also buy microwavable egg and potato pies in Sainsburys and Tesco's.

    And...I think I'm still alive :? ....or maybe my Mums cooking made me kick the bucket years ago and this is all now just a dream? :o

    Srsly it sounds crazy to me too. Maybe you need to cook some and eat it in front of someone there in an act of death-defying culinary arts. :roll: :lol:

    Yeah, I thought about doing that. I'll also invite some Koreans along and have the fan going in the same room with all the windows closed. :lol:

    Maybe they'd think I was a magician, or J.C returned to perform miracles and convert the heathen masses? :P

    Some hippy guy named Jesus performed a bunch of miracles, died and came back to life and is actually physically related to God. And his mom got knocked up by a magic spirit without ever having sex.

    I don't know whether to believe that.

    In those primitive and libidinous times I'm sure his mom would have at least given the odd blow-job at the back of the amphitheater.
