    LOL!
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    It's funny that you guys intentionally make yourselves suffer. Further proof that the human race is doomed....

    Who shat in your punchbowl?

    Just to clarify. Eating hot currys isn't just about showing off. This is something that spice n00bs usually don't consider due to lack of personal experience but there is a strange, drug-like high - a sort of light-headed minor euphoria - that washes over you just after you have eaten a super-hot curry. It seems to be some kind of physiological reaction to the capsaicin and it kicks in once you enter the tens- and hundreds of thousands of units Scoville. It sort of hurts but it has the effect of lifting your mood, so the pain itself becomes an object of fun (when consumed with friends). It is not purely an act of bravado, at least not for me, but there is some social value in the competitive banter it engenders.

    Actually it's called a Panir Nan and is a traditional Indian food, not a made up Scottish thing like Chicken Tikka Masala. And it contains no lard.

    It was a bit of a joke, guys. Apparently a poor one.

    Although, as a person that can't handle spicy foods and has heartburn on a daily basis..... I will say that you guys are friggin nuts for going near that stuff!

    I thought my response was quite good

    To be honest, im actually thinking of retrying this, i dont like the idea of being defeated by a curry, its a new concept to me.

    Not at all. It's not like cheddar or even mozzarella, it's a very light, mild Indian cheese and it has a slight cooling effect when eaten with a hot curry.
