I heard about this on the radio this morning:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20058096/

The bhut jolokia beats the Red Savina
in Scoville units.

I'd sure like to get some of these.

"When you eat it, it's like dying." Hot maybe, nice to eat, Mmm, not so
sure.

It's a bit like saying there is a new land speed record for the fastest car
on the road, but would you be able to use that car as you would normally use
the car?

Just a thought.

I can assure you that it would not be like dying
for me. If it can make me say "This is rather hot.",
that would be high praise.

This "the hotter the better" notion has always struck me as pure idiocy,
engaged in by the same people who own Hummers, buy penis-enlargement
pills, and own lots of guns. Heat is essential in some foods, and I love
it as much as anyone, but when you seek heat just for the sake of
outdoing someone else then you end up with food where the heat blanks
out all other flavors. What's the point? Why not try for the world's
saltiest food?

Someone posted this link on another site about this pepper, gives a bit more
info than the headline hype.

I grew some in my garden about 5 years ago. They were all hype and not
much else. They were no hotter than a really hot jalapeño (as you know,
jalapeños can be quite variable in heat), and very poor yield, but maybe
they just don't like this climate -- it was an unusually cool summer
that year.

I've been waiting for the Neiman Marcus cookie recipe and the jellied
moose nose recipe. Haven't seen them in over a year.

How long since moose turd pie has made its way here?

Classic story humor, not recipe.

Maybe he wanted to give it to someone else as a prank.

I used to keep a bottle of this stuff on hand:

....just to give to anyone fool enough to say, "Surprise me," when I offered
them a drink.

it's pretty funny. the line reading of 'it's good, though!' is most
convincing.
