Saying "the archives are going out" makes 'em come out of the woodwork.

I was gonna do these three at a time, but I've only got the next two ready, so here they are...
I was reading the other day that capsicum, the chemical responsible for the heat, was likely addictive, and that earlier central american cultures would make foods with it that they ate constantly.  ("My grandfather smoked his whole life, but he wasn't addicted")

The burning sensation causes endorphins to be released into the bloodstream causing a mild high and no cellular damage.  I think we need the FDA to look into this.  <sarcasm>

The larger versions of these are much prettier, and the medium ones are nice, too.  But I shrunk them even smaller to send to the list...

(I have the origional scans, medium sized versions, and the extra large cleaned up versions, too.  If you wan't some of them, let me know, and I'll email you a big pepper.)

Hi all-

I took the liberty of spicing things up a bit for those who like
to light a fire in the belly.

Round two in the pepper icons.

I have copies on the order of 70 to 150 pixels a side (depending on the pepper) if anyne is interested (noone really wanted the super-big ones, so I won't send them)...

Thanks, Steve, for the hot jalepeços.
