My hypothesis is that when his jaws came together to chew the gum, there was enough force to overcome the activation energy for the explosive to explode, but they don't say what compound it was, so no guarantees.

It's very selective. I've seen several people make fun of famous people's deaths and then those same people turned around and bitched and whined when others made fun of a famous person who they liked.
And this guy is a nobody so your logic sucks.
and I care if anyone dies.. as long as its not George Bush/ Republican.
Take five fucking seconds and think about why I said the word "selective".

Looks like he's not the only biter.

Ever hear of a chemical reaction? yeahhhhh
Its kind of like just carrying around dynamite. It usually still needs a spark/heat to actually detonate. I imagine an acid did the trick in this case.
Yeah seriously. Are you kidding me meeple? "Maybe I'm just especially clever... but this might not be true." ROFL Learn some chemistry before you start thinking that you're some kind of genius. Reactions have an activation energy, for example, room temperature is enough for water to spontaneously evaporate. Notice how oils don't visibly evaporate? How is it possible that we have hydrogen bombs? Why don't they just explode all the time? Especially clever indeed.
What the hell man? I'm studying chemistry in university.
Studying != passing?
Water is a very stable substance, with a high heat capacity. Whatever explosive it is, it would work less well in water than outside out it.
