Widescale Spontaneous Combustion in Sicilian Town
By Shasta Darlington, Reuters
CANNETO DI CARONIA, Sicily - The gate at the entrance to this tiny Sicilian village has come off its hinges and swings in the wind as cats wander into homes abandoned after a series of mystery fires.
Spontaneous fires started in mid-January in the town of Canneto di Caronia, in about 20 houses. After a brief respite last month, the almost daily fires have flared up again - even though electricity to the village was cut off.
An endless flow of scientists, engineers, police and even a few self-styled "ghostbusters" have descended on the town, searching for clues to the recent spontaneous combustion of everything from fuse boxes to microwave ovens to a car.
Three-legged instruments to monitor geomagnetic, meteorological, electromagnetic and electrostatic indicators sit in apartments and next to lemon trees in the gardens. Colored markings on the street indicate the presence of volcano experts.
Police ruled out a possible prankster or pyromaniac after they saw wires burst into flames.
The hypotheses now range from a buildup of electrical energy caused by grounding wires running off the railway to a rare "natural phenomenon" in which surges of electricity rise from the earth's core.
Italy's big utility, Enel, cut off electricity to the town and hooked it up to a generator - but that caught fire as well.
More recently, cellular phones and cars have also been acting up, with lock and alarm systems being set off without any apparent reason.
Did someone change it from "April fools day" to "April fools month" when no one was looking? My money is on HAARP.

I would say there's a growing current to that city and its perimeter.
Spontaneous combustion does occur with people, but usually single depressed alcohols over 40. On that note, it's also possible for water to explode under the right circumstances when microwaved.
What does this all mean? I've watched too many fucking documentaries on weird shit.
