Can Mummies Be Used as Fuel for Steam Locomotives?

[Tiger Blood]

There was this myth that in 19th century steam locomotives used Egyptian mummies as fuel for steam locomotives, but in reality how good would dried human flesh be as that kind of a fuel for locomotive compared to coal?

That's a funny question that belongs in the fantasy/science fiction section. However, to answer your question I would say that coal burns hotter and longer.

We are not mythbusters here.

Plus, this is just a disturbing question. Thread closed, yuck!
