Polish police are baffled after a cyclist was badly burned when his trousers burst into flames.
Mieczyslaw Jasinski, 55, told doctors he smelt burning and looked down to see his trousers had caught fire.
He jumped off his bike and rolled on the ground trying to douse the flames but suffered second degree burns to his legs, back and stomach.
Passers-by spotted him lying at the side of the road in Koroszczyn, still smoking from the tattered remains of his trousers and groaning in pain.
A police spokesman said: "Witnesses said he was like a flaming human torch cycling along the road.
"We do not know how it happened but we have heard that it could have been caused by a reaction between friction as he cycled, sweat and the material of his trousers."

I've just been to the doctor's surgery, and then the chemist's to pick up my prescription. I've been diagnosed with a minor case of asthma. I only need to use the inhaler last thing at night if I'm having a coughing spasm, or first thing in the morning if it looks like it's going to be a bad day for my hayfever.

I'm not convinced that global warming is happening.

If global warming is happening, I'm not convinced that it's caused by human activity.

If global warming is happening and caused by human activity, I'm not convinced that overall it's a bad thing for the world's people, climate and ecology.

If global warming is happening and caused by human activity and overall it's a bad thing for the world's climate and ecology I still that it's better for most people on the planet to enjoy the fruits of economic development rather than be living in poverty in a pristine environment.

A 28ins tall woman believes she has set the world record for the smallest person ever to give birth.
Stacey Herald was told by doctors that having a child could kill her, crushing her internal organs, reports the Daily Telegraph.
But the 33-year-old recently gave birth to her second daughter, Makya, who measured 18ins.
Guinness World Records is now investigating whether Mrs Herald, from Dry Ridge, Kentucky, US is officially the smallest mother on earth.
Makya, who her mum says is "growing like a weed", is expected to reach an average height. But her 16-month-old sister Kateri suffers from the same condition as her mother, osteogenesis imperfecta.
Mrs Herald and her husband - who is 5ft 9in tall - believe their children are gifts from God.
She said: "My whole life I've been told that I wasn't able to have children."

I've just rummaged in the bottom of a drawer and found a marker pen so that I could write the letters 'R' and 'L' [for 'right' and 'left'] on the straps of my rucksack. I'm fed up of getting all tangled up and nearly pulling a muscle when putting the damned thing on my back.

So there were two men on a roof, pounding nails. One man pounded a nail in, then picked up another. He was holding the nail upside down. He unexpectedly threw the nail away. He picked up another nail, right side up this time, and pounded this in. He eventually threw so many upside down nails away, that his friend came over. "Eh, what are you doing? How come you're throwing away all those nails?" he asked. "Because they're upside down," the friend replied. The other man looks at the friend, then, after some thought, says, "You idiot, save them for the ceiling!"
