Spontaneous human combustion? Real or what?

September 27, 2011

Excerpt:

"If you've seen the 1984 rockumentary film "This Is Spinal Tap," you know that one of the drummers in the infamous rock band Spinal Tap exploded into flames during a show at a blues festival. According to bassist Nigel Tufnel, there was only "a little green globule on his drum seat.... more of a stain than a globule, actually."
Tufnel's bandmate David St. Hubbins explained that their former drummer, Peter James Bond, was not the only person to suffer such a tragic (and dubious) fiery fate: "Dozens of people spontaneously combust each year. It's just not really widely reported."--Analysis by Benjamin Radford
