I do hope that this topic is not bringing back any painful memories of your umm crossing.

Not at all. I thank you and appreciate your concern.

I wasn't physically burned to death. To the best of my knowledge, the worst burn I'd ever had came from staying out in the sun too long. And it wasn't like I'd ever had a serious sunburn at that.

Again, thank you

In reply to:

Be it remembered that I have liked very few movies.


Ah, yes, Dr. Bill. Tell me about your reluctance to enjoy the cinema and your tendancy to punish yourself with bad musicals. You maybe have a Pee Wee Herman story you'd like to share?

Sorry to the believers out there but I do NOT believe in spontaneous human combustion. Every case I've heard of are along the lines of..

"Well, Marvin here may have been a heavy smoker and sure he's been known to fall asleep with a ciggy in his hands but look here, he burnt up right here in the livingroom on his chair in front of the t.v. - proof positive that it was spontaneous combustion."

I'm not making that up. I saw that very thing on a documentary about spontaneous combustion. I don't remember the guy's name but the story is exactly like I wrote it.

Plus one of their "proofs" that the cases they presented were really spontaneous was that the fire was so hot it even burned the bones. How is that a proof?

*wonders if this is now moving into what could be considered a "hot topic" on AWAD*
