Feelin' Hot Hot Hot

I've always been intrigued by the idea that someone could bust into flames. I mean, really, how is that possible?

How Stuff Works explains.

"What makes the charred bodies in the photos of spontaneous human combustion so peculiar is that the extremities often remain intact."

I'm surprised that's the only thing that's so peculiar about a person catching on fire with no external source.

No kidding, right? I'll have to follow the link. I always kind of thought this was an urban myth.

How did you run across this? Did you search it out, or stumble upon it?
