The Daily News has a cute story about a Flatbush church ordering a 240-pound fan to cool the congregation. Apparently it gets so stifling at Our Lady of Refuge Church during the summer that some parishioners stop going to church, therefore the church called upon Big Ass Fans of Kentucky to bring in a $7,500 fan. While the name is a bit secular, but the church administrator said in the current conditions, "You can't even sit and lean back because your clothes are going to stick to the pew." And Big Ass Fans says it's installed its products at many churches and thinks the congregations will say, "I'm glad they bought that big-ass fan." Fun fact: The fan's blades display the signatures of parishioners who donated to the fan (see the photo).
