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.
