Spontaneous Combustion... in Manure??

And you thought you heard it all. There's another fire raging in L.A., in the Moorpark area right now. The cause of the fire? Spontaneous combustion of manure. Yup, not batteries, not electrical lines, not anything man-made. Manure.

According to this L.A. Times article,

The cause of the fire, which started Tuesday, is still under investigation, but Ventura County Sheriff's Department officials have said it appeared to have been started by spontaneous combustion of manure from a local ranch.

That has to be the weirdest piece of news I have heard in quite a long time.
