I Ate a Ghost Pepper

The Ghost Pepper was inducted into the Guiness Book of World Records in 2007 as the hottest pepper in the world.  A guy at work grows them and gave me one.  Due to their extreme heat, they are very hard to come by.  So this was a special event.  Now, I could have put it in a pot of chili or something like that.  But no...I wanted to taste it by itself.  Go check this video out.

Angry Man vs. Hungry Man

I heard a saying the other day that got me thinking..."Don't fear the angry man.  Fear the hungry man."  With the upcoming elections there are a lot of angry people speaking out, but most people remain passive.  Maybe this saying explains why most people do not involve themselves.  Maybe, most people won't start to speak out until they become hungry.  Now, hungry doesn't necessarily mean they don't have food.  It could also mean that any of their day to day comforts are disturbed.  Basically, the majority of the people will not become involved until you take away their cable, internet, or vehicles.  What do you think?  Any truth there?

I Want to Believe

Have you ever heard the theory that the human race was started by aliens from another planet?  Yea…there are people out there who believe this.  But I'm not going to dispute this because I have no idea how we got here.  But it did get me thinking.   Here is my theory.  Maybe the human WAS race was started by aliens.  But instead of little green aliens, it was started by human aliens.  What if the human race started on another planet just like this one?  We then developed technology that could achieve interplanetary  and hyperspace travel.  But along with this great technology we destroyed our home planet because we couldn't halt progress to save our home.  Then in an attempt to start over some very wise humans found another suitable home, the earth, and went to colonize it.  Upon arriving they understood that the only way to keep this from happening again would be to have a strong interdependence on the planet.  So they destroyed all traces of their advanced technology knowing that it would keep them from achieving this connection. They returned to living as primitive and agrarian as possible.  We can look at our planet and see the harm we can do.  Maybe, this trait is somehow inherent in our species.  Maybe in another few hundred years we'll have to find another new home in hopes of doing better the 2nd 3rd time.
