Nadav & Avihu:the "spontaneous combustion" theory
Re Parshat Sh'mini, the Torah reading for last Shabbat/Sabbath, a previous rabbi once theorized that Nadav and Avihu, Aharon's/Aaron's older sons, were killed by spontaneous combustion. As evidence, he cited the fact that their relatives were asked to carry them out by their tunics, which, in a normal fire, would have been burned. What was in that Ohel Moed/Tent of Meeting, anyway?

My theory is they got zapped because the "strange fire" the offered was actually a new invention of theirs: gunpowder! :-)
May I assume that you got your s'micha (rabbinical ordination) in chochmat laila*? :)
(*roughly, being a wiseguy)
