Hi Guys, Sorry to disturb ...

A friend of mine is working on something and he asked me to look for any material related to Simultaneous Human Combustion . So far, not much luck on the Net .... and my time a bit limited and he is busy teaching his students to look on the Net as well.

So ... anyone wishes to point the right way by giving links and such is very helpful.

Thank you beforehand.

You're probably not finding anything because it's known as spontaneous human combustion. In my opinion it's most likely due to the wick effect, but if you google you'll probably find plenty of crap.

I thought it was "Simultaneous" ... maybe that's why I couldn't find much.

Anyway, thanks for the help ... I'll bookmark the sites and send my friend the info. later.

You could always read Bleak House.

And the thread wouldn't be complete without a reference from Robert Carrol's brilliant site ...

Simultaneous Human Combustion

A goal my partner and I often strive for, but unfortunately seldom accomplish...I usually prematurely combust

I hate it when that happens. Try to concentrate on things other than the act of combustion.

Bleak House? What's that?

PS : If it's a term commonly used in the West, then I won't know because I'm from the East, so do explain. Thank You.

I guess they don't burn the candle at both ends. Slackers!
