[net.med] Spontaneous Combustion of people

The mystery has been solved:  it's not totally "spontaneous" but needs
only a little spark (static electricity will do just fine) -  

consider that approximately 7% of the population produce flatulence
containing methane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Yeah, that guy was a flash in the pan! :-(
