Watch out... He's got a snake! On July 30, 2011, police in Trenton, NJ, USA, charged a man with wielding a snake as a weapon! Neutron stars are so heavy that their gravity bends light around itself- meaning that you can see part of the back side while looking at the front! Hot hot hot! A curry eating competition in Edinburgh, Scotland, on Oct. 1, 2011, featured curry so spicy that contestants passed out, suffered severe stomach pains- and two were even hospitalized!0

Those neutron stars put me in mind of my ex-MIL… she’s the only person I know, whose behind was so big and heavy, that when she sat down it folded up and over onto her lap… she actually ended up sitting on her own lap…!

If you are interested, here is an example of the gravitational lensing effect. A cluster of galaxies is so massive that the light of a more distant galaxy is bent around the cluster before it reaches us. If this effect did not exist, the distant galaxy would be obscured from direct view.

If you are interested in super hot peppers, the degree of hotness is measured in Scoville units. The standard is based on capsaican, the chemical substance responsible for the hotness of a spice. The hottest peppers achieve as much as 1.5 million Scoville units. Pure capsaican ranks at 15 to 16 million. Note that artificial pepper sprays rank from 500K and nearly 10 million units.

Wielding a snake would be like wielding any other animal such as a dog. I imagine poisonous snakes would be considered as “deadly” weapons.

I don’t know how people in Mexico and Asia can eat that curry. Doesn’t it cause stomach ulcers plus what was above mentioned?
