Hotness Factor

I was randomly searching for articles on wikipedia where I chanced upon the Scoville Scale. Apparently, this scale is being used to measure the hotness of the varieties of Chili peppers but has been extended to other hot foods. The hottest pepper I found was the Naga Jolokia (found in India...they like it hot there) with a Scoville scale of 855,000 - 1,041,427.

What's more interesting though is that the standard issue pepper spray has a Scoville scale of 2,000,000 - 5,000,000. To put things into perspective, Tabasco sauce has a Scoville rating of a mere 2,500 - 5,000 while Cayenne pepper is on the 30,000 to 50,000 side of the chart. Now I understand why people grimace in pain after receiving a pepper spray treatment. Maybe someday we can buy a pepper spray and while somebody is drunk, spray some on his manhood. Or better yet, cut open the bottle and pour the whole content on his wiener or asshole hhahahahahahahahahahaha, what a wonderful torture idea.

sorry, but i think the hottest pepper is currently found in wellington, new zealand. From what I hear, he moonlights as a poker player and likes "long walks on the beach", but only when he feels like it.
