Plus an article with some nice photos of the actual pepper and a backstory about the cultivation of this demonspawn:

I got to try some today. Not an actual pepper but a couple of drops on some food and god it was hot. I read the comments on the above linked article about people who actually eat those peppers whole. I love hot and spicy foods, but this was too much. I felt my soul leaving out my mouth.

A glove (Middle English from Old English glof) is a garment covering the hand. Gloves have separate sheaths or openings for each finger and the thumb; if there is an opening but no covering sheath for each finger they are called "fingerless gloves". Fingerless gloves with one large opening rather than individual openings for each finger are sometimes called gauntlets. Gloves which cover the entire hand or fist but do not have separate finger openings or sheaths are called mittens. Mittens are warmer than gloves made of the same material because fingers maintain their warmth better when they are in contact with each other. Reduced surface area reduces heat loss.

Ah, yes, that should clear up any confusion.
