Big Ass Fans

No, that's not my clever title, rather that's the brand name of this HUGE fan just inside IKEA's self-service area in Bloomington, MN. Don't believe me?


This thing must have 20-foot long blades, for a diameter of ~40-feet. It's huge and, as I sat under it waiting for "out of towners" doing their shopping, I can't argue that it does move air. Lots of it. It's actually quite refreshing. 

Does Big Ass Fans make them for consumer use? I doubt it, but google it up and find out for yourself if you need to know.

Could Schwinn have started the most popular exercise craze of the decade???


Uhhh, the Cross-Fit!?! How did they know? I would argue they had something to do with it, about 20 years ago.

Quote of the Week

"According to an old saw, a year in Vermont is nine months of winter followed by three months of very poor sledding."

I feel this applies to MN too.
