I don't know how much he learns from the telly :) but he's very likely aware of the Wick Effect. In a BBC interview he said he referred to Professor Bernard Knights book on forensic pathology. The Wick Effect is described in the section on "Atypical Localized Burning an Spontaeous Combustion"...

Einstein also had an extra-marital affair and his wife found out about it. So married guys take note. If Einstein couldn't figure out a way of getting away with it...... ;)

Going back to the original case, I think it's important not to just make the assumption that the coroner suggested a non-material cause. The Scientists on pubMed demonstrated conclusively that the ignition and total combustion of a pig carcass can be achieved with a smaller than expected fire...

PubMed has some academic articles on the Wick Effect. In one experiment a pig carcass was wrapped in particular materials and the effect was induced when 1L of accelerent fuel was pored and ignited. I did come across one article on PubMed that appears to use SHC and the Wick Effect as synonyms...

I'm curious as to what people think is the inference to the best explanation given the facts. There was fire damage to floor below him and the ceiling above him. If his clothes caught fire from the fireplace you might expect the unfortunate man to have serious injuries or to have died from...

She might like "The Young Victoria" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0962736/ A touching love story (and I am by no means a softie) set against the backdrop of Queen Victoria's early reign. Also, if she still goes to Mass she might like "Fireproof" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1129423/ A...

Certain counties should probably be ruled from abroad. Their elites do not have the discipline, honesty or ethical development to govern a nation. They have forfeited the right to rule by destroying their own nation and enriching themselves at the expense of their citizens. I'm talking...

This is very true. Pr. Obama has got to be the first true celebrity president. His first big introduction to the world was through non other than Oprah herself. He was greatly hyped by the mainstream media. He can deliver a wonderful on-screen performance when his lines are written before...

Violence, murder, looting, property destruction etc. - those UK youths running around were merely taking a few days holiday in their atheist theme-park. And before I get verbally mobbed and attacked and we get the emotional attacks with spaghetti monsters, sky fairies, root of all evil etc. I...

Re: If Veritas ads are banned for being religous what about horoscopes, psychics, etc Looking at it from another angle, perhaps Veratis should thank the BCI. They've received far more attention than they would have with their advertising campign alone. Like that hilarious advertising...

Personally I think the problem was McCain. Oddly enough, some of the states that went for Obama, at the same time voted for some very conservative initiatives. California & Florida both passed bans on gay marraiges. All in all, voters passed all 11 bans on gay marraige that came before 11...

Campaigns are filled with high-falutin waffle so it remains to be seen what actually gets changed in this area. For what it's worth a senior economic advisor to Obama, Robert Shapiro , spoke in Dublin yesterday http://www.finfacts.ie/irishfinancenews/article_1015171.shtml

He could go further than this because some of the Irish set-ups that have attracted negative publicity in the US involve companies here with very few employees and huge revenues. e.g. the case of Sandisk reporting a billion dollars in revenue in Ireland with just 4 employees.

McCain said that illegal Irish immigrants in America should be allowed to become citizens. When asked why, he said, “My wife’s family owns Budweiser. It would be good for business.” (Conan O' Brien) Seriously though, he did make a statement in this area: [broken link removed]

Didn't you guys get the memo ? Now is not the time for Richard Dawkins paperbacks! Right now it's the republicans, their sinister supporters and especially Sarah Palin are the root of all evil. Please stay with the program as Obama's campaign is disintegrating before our eyes. There'll be...

yes agreed...if Obama can entice to the polls some of the millions of eligible black Americans who don't show up to vote and they do so mainly because he's black then the 20% figure in that poll would be an underestimate.

The fact that 90%+ of black Americans will likely vote for him doesn't reveal very much about racial voting because democrats have traditionally counted on more than 90% of the black vote anyway. However a recent Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll revealed that 8% of white voters called race...
