1. Umm, I don't have to answer that question.

Human fat as the fuel and clothing as the wick. This was on Discovery or something.

Spontaneous human combustion, no.

[hippiechick]

8. I do

I've known several people with unusually high basal body temps, and I can imagine them 'combusting' at some point in time given the right chemical interactions.

[Shell Beau]

[Debi]

[MuseRider]

sounds like one of his theories!

[Javaman]

19. I believe in spontaneous human flatulation....

That stuff is pretty combustible....

[Zuni]

20. A few people who spontaneously combusted survived

I believe in it. It has been witnessed. No scientific explanation can account for what happens to these people

[RPM]

22. kick

:kick:

[JVS]

23. I used to believe in it until I noticed the victims were all...

obese and elderly alcoholics near open flames.

[bluetrain]

24. I hope to die by spontaneous human combustion...

while talking to a large group of people. I would be right in the middle of a sentence, something profound sounding and then BOOM!

[Nikia]

25. It is one of my secret fears

It is usually activated when I smell something close that smells hot or like its burning, but that I have no idea where the smell is coming from. I also get nervous about it when portions of my body seem hot for no reason.
I know that even if it does sometimes happen that it is relatively rare. I am much more likely to suddenly die of a sudden heart attack or aneurysm.
