CycleChat Investigates - Spontaneous Human Combustion

[Drago]

Is it really a thing?

It fascinated me when I was a nipper, and a mate of mine developed a then convincing theory about trapped farts and compression ignition.

But what does the hive mind of CycleChat think?

This is the burning question we ALL want to know and if anyone can answer it, it'll be our Drago!! 😍🤣


TBH, it used to terrify me as a kid.

 

[stephec]

Does it still happen?

It seemed to stop with the death of Arthur C. Clark, coincidence?

 

[raleighnut]

Did it happen after death or cause it though ?

I remember that gruesome black and white photo of a charred body in a chair. It was very popular in the 1980s.

I suspect it has just gone out of fashion like flares and the Walkman.

And that Bermuda Triangle too!

What if you spontaneously self combust, whilst listening to a Walkman, wearing flares and sailing through the Bermuda Triangle?

Do you get an award from the World Cliché Council? Or do you also need to be fighting quicksand and a shark too?

And that Bermuda Triangle too!

Something that has been comprehensively researched by one of humanity's greatest minds.

I presume Elvis and Lord Lucan were on the boat too?

 

[Drago]

Well, if who are us mortals to argue if the great Barry Manilow reckons the Bermuda Triangle is real?

Shergar as well, although that was a pain, so they let him swim where possible.
