Spontaneous Human Combustion

[HellOnEarth]

Does it exist?

How about spontaneous generation?

 

[Fran]

I thought there was a thread for this

 

[HellOnEarth]

Over 100.

 

[Fran]

Ahh, never mind then.

Carry on.

 

[Boom]

I'll spontaneously combust...on your mom .

 

[DOG LIPS]

I'll spontaneously combust...on your mom .

 

[Boom]

I didn't realize it hurt so much to be 'ed.

 

[Danalys]

it's ment to work with static build up discharging. if it goes into fatty oils on your skin you'd go up like a chip pan fire. but it's not that likely to build up the static required. you're more likely to get hit by lightening. think of the body as a vandegraph (sp?) generator

 

[Halcohol]

I believe it's vandergraff... but I could be mistaken.

If I ever saw someone spotaneously combust I'd probably be hideously scarred... in retrospect it might be kind of funny.

 

[Danalys]

i think it's vandergraph now.

 

[Halcohol]

Google search gives up "Vandergraff". However, the coolest electric physicist was definitely Tesla. Hands down Without him we'd never get those handy dandy coils in Red Alert

 

[Danalys]

with a persons name it can be spelt in different ways in different places. vandergraph also comes up on google. led to a nice article about a semi amature attempt to store a lightning charge, amoungst physics related sites.

 

[Holly Goodhead]

Is that picture necessary.

 

[Danalys]

no. hey next time we discuss murder we could get pics of crime scenes aswell. i'm thinking that pic could have started as a really bad attempt to convince people someone died in a fire anyway. i'm thinking a body would burn hot enough to set a house on fire, but i'd have to check.

 

[Man-Thing]

sorry, I'll take it down. It's never been grusome to me.

 

[HellOnEarth]

Why are you girls offended? We see worse than that in movies. We see humans being decapitated, tortured, maimed and murder for entertainment. I do not understand this double standard.

Why is it so hard to accept death? It's all for the better of science.

And, kids, there is no such things a spontaneous human combustion; it can all be explained through the ingenious of science. The same thing goes for spontaneous generation.

 

[Halcohol]

What the hell are we talking about w/ spontaneous generation?

 

[HellOnEarth]

Because, without it, human life would not be born.

That's why we're homosapians.

 

[Danalys]

i blame starwars for the nonplusedness of people to the horribleness of severed charred limbs. everyone would feel differently if it was their severed charred limb.

 

[HellOnEarth]

But they would be dead.

So they wouldn't feel any differently, or even the concept of feeling.

 

[Danalys]

spotanious generation? heh. the idea was first used to try to explain rats in food storage, and then later mold on food. with that in mind humans poping up out of nowhere was seen as equaly possible. but with the surport for that idea falling down you're left with myth based on jumping to conclusions.

 

[HellOnEarth]

I'm going to tell you again: this universe came out of nowhere and then exploded within itself. It's called the Big Bang, which created planets, suns, and stars, out of thin air. And bacteria began to rise, which eventually, after generations and generations of evolution, transformed, by executive chance, into a human being--us. Learn your biology.

i was original going to go with the idea of it happening to a loved one. but when you do that people jump to conclusions and think you knew someone who died in a fire or something, or they get upset thinking of the possibilities.

 

[HellOnEarth]

Are you a woman, danalys? How old are you.

that's not spontanious generation. and the big bang could be preceded. in most theories it's by another universe.
