2. It happens more like a candle. |

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

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.

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

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!

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.
