I knew a bloke who used to do that trick as an attention getting thing. When we went for a curry meal he would order the hottest dish on the menu and then ask for a bowl of chillies on the side. He would munch, seeds and all, on these with apparent joy and offer them around to anybody who wanted to play the game. He never showed any signs of distress or drank large amounts of fluids, yogurt etc. A real Iron Man or so it seemed. His girlfriend told me that the day after these performances he used to suffer agonies for hours so in the interests of science I used to egg him on to eat more. He proved that people will go through hell if they think it will enhance their creds. snort i was disappointed to read recently dr karl "debunking" the myth of (what we call in our family) curry-bottom - i.e. the misery one can experience while on the loo the day after eating something unusually hot. dr karl is mostly right but sometimes wrong - everyone _i_ know thinks he's totally wrong on this one. the only way to avoid curry-bottom is to eat it every day so your tender parts are used to it, otherwise you _will_ get the good old "ring of fire". like your friend ;-) kylie |
