One of these days I hope I'll be in the neighbourhood when the curry night is ahoy.

The way this tends to work is that the curry night is ahoy when people are in the neighbourhood rather than the other way round.
 
Manchester isn't even remotely in the neighbourhood for me...
 
So, if one pepper melts through four floors of a multi-story building, how many are required to burn through to the centre of the Earth?

Knowing that, we can devise a plan of action to reduce the distance you'd need to travel. Not a very sane plan, but a plan at least...
 
I believe a chillie fuelled anal jet was the method employed in an early draft of Journey to the Centre of the Earth.

I like your thinking, I imagine the burning capacity would be exponential so you wouldn't need to eat that many ;)

I'm not so sure about that. Based on the inverse square law, I can see that the gravitational force between two bodies increases as their respective centre of masses get closer. However, once you are inside the bulk of one of the masses, you have to take into consideration the force exerted by the bulk of mass all around you. By that token, at the exact centre of mass of the Earth, you should have zero net force. So, I'm assuming you need to eat more chillies the deeper your meltdown shaft becomes to increase the "downward" force it exerts as it fuses it's way through.

No joke, I had a friend who would put toilet paper in the freezer before he left for chicken wing night...

haha - brilliant.

That's one thing I miss about Canada and the USA - wings!
Scottish boozers just don't know how to do wings the way the North Americans do.
 
Unfortunately, I can also see directly into the bathrooms of the next 4 floors immediately below now.

I always wondered how they did that scene in Alien.
 
On reflection I don't think I'll be looking to repeat this experiment for a while. I had hoped to be able to say I'd eaten the hottest chilli in the world, but alas since the Jolokia, there have been at least 3 that have been certified hotter.

We've been here five minutes and already lowered the tone... It's no wonder I'm so rarely invited back after dinner parties.

THOSE people don't know what they are missing :lol:

Well, if you want your fart to reach the center of the earth, you should calculate optimal wavelength of your fart for propagating through all the layers of lava. As farts take space (most often way to much personal space) you need to calculate power needed pushing your fart into the earth, ergo the space your fart will fill up instead of the usual lava, which has to move somewhere. Do you want the lava to come up on another spot by drilling another hole in the earth's crust there, so the power needed will be considerably lessened, or do you want your fart making the earth bigger (pushing the earth crust out). As your fart is most certainly lighter than lava, if the fart does not become right in the centre of the earth, then it will surface on another place on the world, most certainly a place ALREADY being plagued by volcanic activity. Then again we all can get our checks ready for another empoverished country victim of violence of nature caused by the west... :rolleyes:
