Another notable birth (at least to me) on this date is Wilbur Scoville, the patron saint of chilli heads such as myself. Pleasantly surprised that Google is marking Wilbur’s birth: The Telegraph picks up from Google. Below is my 15 year old Robert Charles Chilli tie. I think I’ll have an extra lashing of Endorphin Rush (my daily) and some of my Dave’s Private Reserve 2000 (500,000 to 750,000 Scoville units).
