Spontaneous Human Combustion

Featured Replies

I've been looking into this lately so it's been scaring me. I don't want to combust. There have been about 200 cases of SHC. Does anyone know how/if it's even possible? How about any tips to avoid it? Thanks. :D

It has never been proven to have happened without a source of ignition. Just an old wives tale :P

Apparently some gasses build up inside you. Fun, huh?

From what I remember reading, it has something to do with extremely high levels of stress, I think. Any of you have a book called "Bizarre Phenomenon"? It talks about it quite a bit, very interesting book.

Discovery channel doesn't lie.

Fullmetal Alchemist, you will be missed. A great ending to a great series.

Quite honestly, if you believe in spontaneous combustion, you're an idiot. There's nice nice way to put it.

[English translation needed]

It would be a cool way to die.

Don't you know the first rule of MMO's? Anyone higher level than you has no life, and anyone lower than you is a noob.

People in OT eat glass when they are bored.

Though my friend said it might be possible if your nerve signals jump bad or whatever (what's the disease where you have no myelin sheath?) and ignites the gasses in your body.

Do the math: if it has happened to 200 people in history, and there is 6 billion people on earth, the chances of it happening to you are around 1 in 30 million. You are substantially more likley to die from a falling coconut (around 75 deaths per year)

But reb, Discovery Channel also said that Disney isn't an evil corporation.

 

 

 

Anyway, it's probably possible, but it's not random. There needs to be a cause for everything, scientific fact.

Are you implying that spontaneous combustion is just a more epic version of the lottery?

And that's noly 200 cases in all of recorded history. Think of how many people there have been in recorded history.

 

 

 

But yea, it's a far more awesome version of the lottery. I'd love to go that way.

There's is always the slightest possibility of an electron splitting an atom in your body causing a micro-nuclear explosion. Sounds like a good way to die.

well with 200 cases out of the billions in the world living, I wouldn't be worried.

 

 

 

Funny, I just watch the south park episode that was about spontaneous human combustion (S2 E3) :P

Far more epic.

What?

 

DO IT

 

 

 

you may also want to try digesting a roll of mentos with a liter or so of diet coke.

 

(perhaps even some peroxide+baking soda+Mountain Dew?)

 

 

 

Chemistry is fun.

Well, on the subject of how we go, I wanna be the first to die in whatever way I die. And hopefully it's something cool, not lame like death by papercuts.

catch it now so you can like it before it went so mainstream

I want to be dressed in a Hawaiian shirt and dropped into a volcano.
