Originally posted by Drewster View PostSorry to be picky... but what is "almost" spontaneously combusted?
My bonfire "almost" spontaneously combusted could mean:
a) It combusted after I poured 2 gallons of Diesel on it and then chucked my Zippo on top...
b) Its actually still a pile of wood.....
Its a bit like a qualified absolute...
Therefore, CM didn't spontaneously combust.
