what does spontaneous mean? Static electricity can cause spontaneous combustion of clothing; see http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20050916/od_nm/australia_electricity_dc;_ylt=AkJmhITPwFJI9OvirJfzVdCs0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTA3ODdxdHBhBHNlYwM5NjQ- . 24.54.208.177 16:07, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
Does anyone else find it anomalous that there's pages and pages written on spontaneous human combustion, but no discussion here of the type of spontaneous combustion that actually occurs (i.e., in silos)? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.70.15.166 (talk • contribs) 1 April 2006, 23:22
- Yes. I'm glad we've fixed that problem. Cheers, CWC(talk) 07:31, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
Link to Spinal Tap
[edit]Maybe we should link to This is Spinal Tap, since so many people associate that movie with spontaneous combustion, and vice versa.
We could add a wikilink to the bullet point about spontaneous human combustion (though this violates the guideline about one link per item):
- Spontaneous human combustion is the alleged phenomenon of a human being suddenly bursting into flames, as seen in the mockumentary This is Spinal Tap.
Alternatively, we could add an item to the "In popular culture" section:
- The mockumentary film This is Spinal Tap mentions spontaneous human combustion.
What to other editors think? Cheers all the way to 11, CWC(talk) 07:31, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
- Gang - I have moved the mention of Spinal Tap to the spontaneous combustion (combustion) article.Steve 15:09, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, I saw that. (That was good work, BTW). I'm asking whether we should mention it here as well. Thanks for your contributions, CWC(talk) 05:18, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
