Yes spontaneous combustion happens more times than it should. Sorry to get off topic.
No need to apologize it is directly on topic.
They had a report on one of those night time TV shows about rags catching on fire.
The stupid part was they inadvertently gave kids the formula to do it by doing it on TV.
This stopped some stores from selling Japan drier for a while.
