If anybody who'll be going to the C'punks NYC meeting wants some fresh Habanero peppers (aka "Scotch Bonnets"), let me know: we've harvested over 80 of them so far, with no end in sight. I'd be glad to give 'em away to people who can toler, uh, properly appreciate them. My roommates and I have a competition to see how many each of us can eat whole, raw, before they run out (for those unfamiliar with the kind, they're the hottest kind of pepper in the world, many claim: up to 350,000 Scovilles).
There's a pub here in the Bay Area that serves habanero burgers every Thursday. When you order one, they make you sign a release (and they're serious about it). I had a bite of one of the things once. Dissolved my kidney stones and made my nose bleed. I had to turn to my friend and ask if my lips were still on my face. -- Mark Chen chen@netcom.com 415/329-6913 finger for PGP public key D4 99 54 2A 98 B1 48 0C CF 95 A5 B0 6E E0 1E 1D
