#5 Watched a show once about the making of pepper spray. The concentrated oleocapsicum resin looks like honey consistency wise. The narrator said the concentrate is about 15 million scovilles (don't know if that's good info or not) and they cut it to about 1.5 million for commercial grade and about 2.5-3 for LEO grade.

I always liked how the cops in Joseph Wambaugh's Hollywood Station novels referred to OC spray as "Liquid Jesus."

#6 swksvolFF Satan's Toe Jam is made with Ghost Peppers. I think I can ramp that up a bit.

#7 When I first started lurking here, I remember it would come up in conversation occasionally. Felt like I needed a beer just reading about it.

#8 A friend showed me photos of Manuel Noriega's riot control water cannon trucks, the ones that had a large blue Papa Smurf painted on the driver's door, hence "Smurf Trucks". They supposedly had enough 'cinnamon oil' in the water spray to raise blisters...
More 'humane' than volley fire with live ammo, I guess.

#9 There was a chili contest a couple years back, this guy, who is for lack of a better description a culinary bonzai!, and his chef wife conspired to make the hottest chili possible, going so far as to order ghost peppers. Out of two hundred some attendees only myself and one other were able to eat the about cup and a half serving. Until I hit my 'runners high' I was swerving for jalapenos for cool bites.

Wife sent him a pic of me finishing the bowl. Next day, 'cant believe you ate that! I didn't get through a bite. Ummm, how are you today? (wink wink)'

'So far, so good.'
