There are two possibilities here: either this air conditioner was commissioned by a super villain; or, a copy writer was extremely bored at work and his editor is either lazy, or more likely doesn’t exist. Citing Occam’s razor, the super villian explanation took fewer words; therefore, it is the simpler explanation; therefore, is the more likely scenario.
The only fan that you would want to use while watching Get Smart.
Spelled differently.

Well they don't people to know this do they? So they changed the spelling to confuse people.

Do NOT use the CHAOS setting indiscriminately.

You spent time in South Korea. How many people did you know that ended up suffering Fan Death?
My favourite was a man in his late fifties, a heavy smoker, who came home to a non-airconditioned apartment in Seoul at the height of summer after an all-night binge drink and died of heart failure. An MD stated that having a fan running next to his bed was the only possible cause of death. Having a fan going in my own bedroom was like a more extreme version of a horrible dutch oven to my Korean gf.
I came across the term a while back on an Asian website, and I thought it was a joke at first, but evidently lots of Koreans think that it's true. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_death
People can be so weird sometimes, or in the case of Americans, most of the time, but at least most of us don't think fans blowing on us for too long will kill us, even if sometimes it will (using a fan in a closed room during a heat wave can do it sometimes).
It's as real to them as kimchi and a Japanese invasion. I've seen looks of utter horror when I've laughingly stated that I sleep with an electric fan going every night.
I was talking to someone from Europe yesterday and she was amazed that seemingly every American knew the origin of the flag and person who sewed it. After some quick trivia from her reinforcing this thought with the group and bewilderment because no one would know the origin of her home country's flag she relented with "Americans are a weird group of people."
Everyone just kind of nodded.
I was listening to a Grantland.com podcast the other day where two writers were talking about the movie "In Bruges". One of them says, "I don't know where it takes place but I think it's like Brussels or maybe Belgium. Are they cities?" It's like living next door to Caligula.
So oddly enough… I know the European is Belgian and she may be from Brussels. There was another girl who at some point said there was this one restaurant that she went to and liked. It was "either in Trenton or New Jersey… no it wasn't Trenton it was definitely New Jersey".
Some of us are just as bad inwardly as we are to the outside world.
Betsy Ross? I think, maybe? And people think she had an affair with Washington (dude got around, for someone with wooden teeth), but it was probably his brother maybe. You guys are so loud, culturally, we tend to pick this stuff up inadvertently*.
I don't know who designed our flag. It was probably a committee. It was widely disliked, and my graphic design teacher in high school referred to it as 'a disaster'.
* I say "two-fourty zee" but "three hundred zed-eks". And bizarrely, "Corvette zed-oh-six". I have no idea how that happened.

This is "zed-eks eighty-one", but that's because I heard it first on Red Dwarf.
He had teeth made out of wood, real Ivory's and gold and other metals…
