Dogs and birds aren't the only chilehead pets; my tomcat Chrysoprase is one, bigtime. I don't get to put fresh Thai peppers in my coffee as often as I used to in wintertime, 'cause Chrys gets to them first, munching 'em right off my (or in his mind, our) windowsill plants. Apparently doesn't faze him a bit. And while he's almost bound to be getting some afterburner effect---even pretty small peppers would do that to a 12-pound creature with a relatively simple digestive system, one would think---that doesn't seem to bother him either. Anybody else here get Hunan Hand from cleanin' the litterbox? :-) Keep on rockin', Rain @@@@ \\\\\\ ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the Internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!
