Storm, I kinda think you should read this...

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.

I have read that Kil and I agree with most of it.... I had a real laugh today..the Science discovery channel was playing a segement on Spontaneous Human Combustion...In fact they had as a guest the man who this post is about...Joe Nickell...They were going through the different SHC events...but the most hilarious one was when a skeptic was trying to prove the Wick Effect...and he set fire to the whole set... then they had Joe Nickell saying it was definetly the wick effect..!!!!! Ha HA HA!!! When clearly it was not...at least according to this guys evidence...Set fire to the whole set!!!! had to call the fire department...I laughed my ass off!!!!!!

So "clearly it was not?" I wish I had seen the show. Are you saying you also believe in Spontaneous Human Combustion? Or is this just more evidence to bolster your low opinion of Joe Nickell?

Yes I beleive in Sponataneous Human Combustion... How it happens I am unsure...I do not believe it has anything to do with the Supernatural.. maybe an explosion from within..acids... toxins...

I'd like to have seen that one myself. It sounds like a hoot.

I have heard claims and read some of the literture on spontainous human combustion, but have yet to see anything convincing.

Wait! I take that back! I got hold of some chilis a while back that made a very good case for it. For a while there, and again later the next day, I thought sure I'd combust.....
