Naga Viper Chili Pepper Named World's Hottest

No joke, I fucking love hot food. The top door shelf in my home is a variety pack of hot sauces that are a dignified mix of heat levels and flavors. To me, habanero chili 200,000 - 300,000 Scoville Units (SHU) was plenty good enough to totally destroy my taste-buds and potentially the neighborhood cat, but now, this Naga Viper 1,359,000 (SHU) comes around and pushes, the now second place, Bhut Jolokia (Ghost chilli) 855,000—1,050,000 (SHU) out of the way.

This headline should really read: "New organic biological weapon found."
