G*d save us. Last time that happened someone started a family of religions that's done untold harm.
Around here we have fat wood, the resinous inner core of pine trees. Great for starting a fire in the fireplace.

And your link proving this unfounded (so far) assertion?
John
Hardly hot enough for spontaneous combustion. I'm with John - idiots throwing cigarette butts out the window.

You may be right, but for sure no one sprayed it with anything. After all these years I may have become confused with the fir tree directly behind it. There must have been some inflammable organic vapour sweated out of the bush by the unusually high temperatures we had that summer on that very still day, because neither the laurel nor the fir were damaged. It was all over in a flash (literally!) but was *very* spectacular - and pretty damn scary - while it lasted.
And in my case, my father tossing the match he'd used to light his pipe into the undergrowth. He must have got the shock of his life.
So the lack of weather stations is your excuse. Got proof? Or should I trust your word LOL
Proof? You seem to be lacking that.
You are terribly confused. What do you think, GW will cause it to stop snowing everywhere? Rather what happens is the increased moisture in the air causes more precip when it occurs. You really have trouble understanding mildly complex topics.
By the way, this is link that proves my point. It's from a reputable source. Learn how to use them:
Proof....nah, nevermind. Of course you don't. It's always easier to make it up as you go.
By the way, I heard about this cool invention. They're magnets to go around your fuel line. They improve gas mileage. Don't ask me for proof they work, they just do. I might be able to create or find a graph and upload to Dropbox if it helps.
If you figure it out, let me know. He's like a politician that continually deflects factual statements and instead promotes demonstrably false facts.
How? Or don't you know?
John Larkin is another one who it is pointless to argue with. He has made up his mind based on what "feels right" and doesn't care about anything else. He also works that way dismissing valid solutions to a problem according to how they "feel".
Discussing any of this with him is pretty pointless.

LOL
This has to be one of the strangest claims I've heard in a long time. Is this a common myth going around now?
I won't say that is impossible. There are volatile organic compounds in firs that will burn easily. Check out fat wood. It is possible that it occurred exactly as you describe. Ignition is still an issue though. Even volatile hydrocarbons aren't so easy to ignite unless there is a flame or spark.

You have to admit it is one of the most bizarre things humans do, putting burning leaves in their mouths!
-- Rick C
I've come to that realization, however I can't help but to want to find out what ridiculous thing he says next.
It's a gift, really, to be able to continually fight blatant facts.
A gift eh? I'd return it for something more practical. Still have the receipt?
-- Rick C
Thanks. I checked various online weather reports for Kuwait City. The highest for July was 51C and Aug at 50C.

You seem to be interviewing for the position of pope. Your competition is Slowman, so good luck on your race to the bottom.
You really are an idiot. No one puts burning leaves in their mouth.
