To this day it still baffles me how some people could burn up completely literally leaving nothing behind, yet their surroundings was not affected. Doesn't it take a high ass temp to burn up a body completely. Basically the clothing of the victim soaks up melted human fat and acts like the wick of a candle. This is called the Wick Effect. The fire is pretty tiny and fire hates to move horizontal so it stays on the body, just like how a fire stays on a candle. --- GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site.
