“Indian Army Develops Blinding Chili Grenade”
“India has unveiled the latest hot new weapon — a grenade made using the world’s hottest chili, reported The Sun on Friday.
“At more than a thousand times stronger than the average cooking spice the bhut jolokia chili is set to cause a potent explosion on more than just the taste buds.
“Military experts in India have developed the new crowd control grenade packed with ground seeds from the chili — which is officially recognized as the hottest on the planet by Guinness World Records.
“When deployed the grenade showers the targets with a dust so spicy that in trials subjects were blinded for hours and left with breathing problems. Lead scientist R.B. Srivastava, from India’s Defense Research and Development Organisation, said: “The chilli grenade is a non-toxic weapon and when used would force a terrorist to come out of his hideout.”
I wonder if that’s what was in the lamb vindaloo that made my bald spot sweat. And the aftermath! Well, let’s not talk about that…
