Well, and I thought that Disaster Radius wasn't very good... At least Spontaneous Combustion let you sacrifice the weakest creature, not the weakest of the strongest, if you know what I mean.

107.1b. Most of the time, the Magic game uses only positive numbers and zero. You can’t choose a negative number, deal negative damage, gain negative life, and so on. However, it’s possible for a game value, such as a creature’s power, to be less than zero. If a calculation or comparison needs to use a negative value, it does so. If a calculation that would determine the result of an effect yields a negative number, zero is used instead, unless that effect sets a player’s life total to a specific value, doubles a player’s life total, sets a creature’s power or toughness to a specific value, or otherwise modifies a creature’s power or toughness.
Since this modifies power and toughness, I'm led to believe that you can in fact use this in conjunction with Hyalopterous Lemure/Viscid Lemures to give an arbitrarily large pump. For another example of negative numbers coming into play, see Wild Beastmaster.
