"Claiming that your hot sauce can stop an elephant sounds like an idle 
boast, but zoologist Loki Osborn has proof.  In 1995, he devised a plan to 
protect Zimbabwean villagers' from crop-raiding pachyderms with a perimeter 
of string coated with hot chile paste.   It did the trick, irritating the 
elephant's ultra sensitive trunks, and local farmers have since turned the 
chilies into a cash crop. They provide the serious heat in Osborn's Elephant 
Pepper Development Trust's tangy hot sauces.

roads weren't paved.
