Did anyone check to see if he was a Tibetan monk? I've seen a few of them spontaneously combust on the news.

Haha.....Jeesh
Had to laugh at the top notch journalism/writing.

"Officials say the fire may have been caused by spontaneous human combustion. When that occurs, a fire burns from inside a person".

Maybe the guy was drinking and smoking too much.

When I was in elementary school, one of my friends had a collection of paperback books dealing with various oddities and mysteries and such. (i think he was also an Arch Oobler fan . . . of course all of this was in the daze of graphic National Enquirer Covers and long before Google and The Internet and Wikipedia so i can't be sure).

One of those books had a whole section regarding "Spontaneous Human Combustion" replete with some grainy, yet graphic, photos from way back in the '30s and '40s.

It was one of the scariest parts of the book. To a ten year old.

Who would have thought that KOCO would "necro" all of those buried, childhood memories . . . and get me to thinning about them?
(is this zombie mind-control? or techno-vampirism? =)
