...
I think they're unclear on the concept of "fire."
Hydrocarbon Fuel + Oxygen ---> Heat + Water + Carbon dioxide - chuckerton, on 07/16/2009, -1/+72"The woman was reportedly smoking on a patio when employees noticed she was engulfed in flames. "
Given the context, I think they could have worked on that sentence a little bit longer. - OnAsideNote, on 07/16/2009, -4/+51spontaneous human combustion
- drivingalone, on 07/17/2009, -0/+45She must have made three shots in a row while playing NBA Jam.
- fleecejohnson, on 07/16/2009, -0/+43If that chick drinks anything like my wife's sister, it took 'em a week to put the fire out.
- HeDiggMe, on 07/16/2009, -0/+39Who let Amy Winehouse drink the 151?
- SirBrittanicus, on 07/17/2009, -0/+39It's hard to read "noticed" and "engulfed in flames" in the same sentence without laughing.
- AmyVernon, on 07/16/2009, -2/+40KILL HER WITH FIRE!!
Too soon?
OK, that was probably too soon. - Mickeh65, on 07/16/2009, -2/+38"FLAME ON!!1"
- TabDelineated, on 07/17/2009, -3/+25smoking kills, people.
- Sherman901, on 07/16/2009, -1/+21"The woman was reportedly smoking on a patio when employees noticed she was engulfed in flames."
Seems so casual. I wonder how fun of a conversation that must of been. - Lykil, on 07/17/2009, -1/+19Sounds like a case for Dr House.
- Lefts, on 07/17/2009, -0/+17Alkali metal fires disagree a bit.
- RainyDayNinja, on 07/17/2009, -0/+17It's Lupus.

- JungDigg, on 07/17/2009, -3/+19Who just sits there when on fire?
"Ho hum ...what do you know, I'm on fire. Huh." - appleofdischord, on 07/17/2009, -2/+18I've read that this typically happens when an overweight person falls asleep while smoking. The cigarette lights their clothes on fire. The heat wicks the fat from the skin into the clothing, sort of like a candle.
This is also supposed to account for why such fires rarely spread from the person to the surroundings. - Technopundit, on 07/17/2009, -0/+14"There's something you don't see every day, Chauncey."
"What's that, Edgar?"
"That woman smoking a cigarette on the patio is engulfed in flames." - WiretapStudios, on 07/17/2009, -0/+12She's the firestarter, twisted firestarter.

- Atario, on 07/17/2009, -0/+11"Oh, look at that."
"What's that, Betty?"
"Someone engulfed in flames."
"Oh. [Pause] Do we have any coffee left?" - Rocketbird, on 07/17/2009, -1/+11Your mother was a whore!
wait, i dont get it - PotentPotables, on 07/17/2009, -1/+11Great, now I have to go watch the South Park episode Spontaneous Combustion.
- SweetDaddyD, on 07/17/2009, -0/+9...smokin!
- JFitzpatrick, on 07/17/2009, -0/+9Cocaine's a hell of a drug?
- Hignaki, on 07/17/2009, -1/+1060% of the time, it works every time.
- rangah, on 07/17/2009, -0/+9I will dig you until my balls explode.
- landrypants, on 07/17/2009, -0/+9I tried, but it was only 40% effective
- dekuscrub, on 07/17/2009, -0/+8She must have been holding in her farts.
- exabytes16, on 07/17/2009, -0/+8That H2 at the end there is suspect. >_>
- benroy, on 07/17/2009, -0/+8I'm sure that the sculpture of a giant magnifying glass just behind her had nothing to do with it.
- tcquad, on 07/17/2009, -0/+7"People just don't routinely spontaneously combust on a patio so we're going to be trying to figure out why she was on fire.”
Are there places where people do routinely spontaneously combust? That's kind of an important thing to know. - scuba7183, on 07/17/2009, -1/+7Blame i ton the al al alal al alcohol

- DougHenryII, on 07/17/2009, -0/+5So pardon me while I burst
into flames. - Lunarparcel, on 07/17/2009, -1/+6"Well, I dare say, you are most certainly right about that, Edgar?"
"Of course I'm right. Why, you can see her there in broad daylight."
"Naturally. But I was referring to your assertion that you don't see that every day."
"Indeed, Chauncey. Indeed." - ACiDGRiM, on 07/17/2009, -1/+6That's one serious hot flash.
(BTW These comments suck) - Mascots, on 07/17/2009, -0/+5I would assume it was taken WAY out of context.
I'm sure they meant oxygen tanks. - andreo, on 07/17/2009, -1/+6They wanted me to go to rehab and I said no no no...
- ryan631, on 07/17/2009, -0/+5nice to hear a spontaneous human combustion story again. It's been a few years since the last one. I thought the trend had died out but thank god some old lady lit up.
- noboot, on 07/17/2009, -0/+5Hydrocarbons are not needed. But Oxygen is.
Beyond early chemistry classes, not all combustion ends in CO2 and H2O. - steinjake, on 07/17/2009, -0/+4my thoughts exactly
