*chuckles* I like this bit from the guy who's been investigating this stuff:

Quote:

"To say that we don't know what the cause of the fire was but its' spontaneous human combustion," Nickell opined, "Why don't we say it was a ghost playing with matches?"

Snicker.
Chalk it up to another thing I don't believe in.

Monnie and I can have it on our TV show.

Google it. There are some cool pics.

DanaC 09-29-2011 02:21 PM

Don't need to thanks. Know all aout the old SHC. We had the complete set of 'The Unexplained: Mysteries of Mind, Space, & Time' magazines when I was a kid. I had a morbid fear of spontaneous human combustion.

It's Yeti.

Yeti sneaks into your grandmaw's house and sets her alight (she's usually sitting in her big, chintz-covered easy chair, eating candy and watching The Price is Right) steals her twix and then hot-foots it out of there. There's never any forensic evidence because Yeti is that good.

Yetis, using crystal skulls.

HA! Yes! Yetis, using crystal skulls and triangulating grandmaw's position with floating orbs.

DanaC 09-29-2011 02:41 PM

Damn straight. And they call us crazy.

footfootfoot 09-29-2011 02:44 PM

Laugh all you want, it almost happened to a friend of mine.

Sundae 09-29-2011 02:45 PM

Awwww, I missed out!
The only stories Nanny told about human combustion were from The Blitz.

I want Yetis and spectral locomotives rocketing past the farm and all that stuff.
I had a deprived childhood :(

At least it's not an undead Nazi ninja Yeti.

DanaC 09-29-2011 02:46 PM

Bet you never had an alien in your cellar either.

I had one in my closet. He phoned home along ago.

I've seen that movie. Heck, I own that movie. It's one of our decadent favorites.

In this most recent case, Retired professor of pathology Mike Green said "he doubted explanations centred on divine intervention.

'I think if the heavens were striking in cases of spontaneous combustion then there would be a lot more cases. I go for the practical, the mundane explanation,' he said."

Which part?

ZenGum 09-29-2011 08:39 PM

Come on, cellar.

You insensitive bastards, my grandmother spontaneously combusted on 9/11.


What, no recipe?

HungLikeJesus 09-29-2011 09:10 PM

I've heard that spontaneous combustion is primarily due to people not using shampoo.

I guess the oil could build up and then you think too hard and your brain overheats and WHOOF!!!
