Yes, I have. It's better than dying while waiting for something
to cook. I'm sure that happens to people on occasion. Sometimes when
a dead body is found in an apartment it's because of "the smell".
People always say they wouldn't have suspected anything was wrong had
it not been for the smell. But in this case they don't smell the body
first. No, first they smell the burning food and think, 'Man, whoever
lives in that apartment doesn't know how to cook." Then a few hours
later they smell the burning pot. Finally the stove itself catches on
fire and smoke pours out into the hallways causing the fire department
to be alerted. When the tv news people get there, everyone is milling
around saying "Man, if it weren't for the smell, we never would have
known there was a dead body in there." Everyone watching on tv is
perked up by the news until diappointment sets in when they learn the
neighbors meant the smell of smoke, not the smell of a rotting body.
What a let down.

while cooking is a major cause of Spontaneous Human Combustion.
