Hot! Hot! Hot! Chili Peppers in the Blistering Sun...

As Jules Verne in his novel "From Earth to the Moon" presented the eternal conflict between the weaponmakers and the armor-makers, are we now looking at the next phase -- the battle between the chili makers and the chutney-makers?
That could be next as the Indian military seeks to weaponize world's hottest chili:

"The bhut jolokia was accepted by Guinness World Records in 2007 as the world's spiciest chili. It is grown and eaten in India's northeast for its taste, as a cure for stomach troubles and a way to fight the crippling summer heat.


It has more than 1,000,000 Scoville units, the scientific measurement of a chili's spiciness. Classic Tabasco sauce ranges from 2,500 to 5,000 Scoville units, while jalapeno peppers measure anywhere from 2,500 to 8,000.

"The chili grenade has been found fit for use after trials in Indian defense laboratories, a fact confirmed by scientists at the Defense Research and Development Organization," Col. R. Kalia, a defense spokesman in the northeastern state of Assam, told The Associated Press."
