Spontaneous Human Combustion!!

Who the hell all of the sudden bursts into flames for no good reason?! And who ever thought this up?? OK, now how freaky would it be to be browsing the stores at your local mall when the dood in front of you, who's wife and child are walking on either side of him just happens to ignite like the biggest friggin match in the world?

"In December 1966, the body of 92-year-old Dr. J. Irving Bentley was discovered in his Pennsylvania home by a meter reader. Actually, only part of Dr. Bentley's leg and slippered foot were found. The rest of his body had been burned to ashes. A hole in the bathroom floor was the only evidence of the fire that had killed him; the rest of the house remained perfectly intact." And they say some people don't actually die from Spontaneous Human Combustion. OK, so how fucked up would you be after something like THAT?
"Yeah, I survived cancer."
"oh yeah? well I survived SHC!"
"wtf is that?"
"Spontaneous Human Combustion, baby!"

Would they have SHC Support Groups for survivors of SCH? And better yet, would they serve anything hot, or just keep it refridgerated food? No coffe for this support group, thank YOU.

Ooh, it'd suck worse if all the sudden something like your liver caught fire? what could you do in that situation? drink a lot of water?

wieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerd.

aren't humans composed 60% of water..... because that stuff doesn't burn too well.

BS... see, for example, this article (http://www.csicop.org/si/9611/shc.html).

Human combustion happens, But out here you have to worry more about hay combusting then people. You get a hay bale that combusts and burns there goes everything else it comes in contact with. Several things affect it.

if that article was written in the 60s then the people who wrote that may have been on acid, and completely imagined it. I mean, it was the 60's, come on. is the article from 66 the only proof?

:gives:

Was someone watching Spinal Tap recently? All Spinal Tap's drummers spontaneously combusted.

I dont know. They say that stuff is for real. I havent seen it so I cant say if it is bull shit or not. But if I see someone go up in flames for no reason I will have my camera ready. Mabye they pissed off God real bad and crispy critters. duno
