So was it named after a bloke or bird called Scoville then.......??????

[chicken]

A bloke - Wilbur Scoville. He developed his test in 1912.

This has nothing to do with my job by the way. I have a stockmarket-related one ready for tomorrow unless someone pips me to the post.

[Bones]

well i never

Have too say chickhen have just impressed my colleauges with that piece of
information, they too are now more learned than they were before.....

F M that's interesting!
I can't wait 'til tomorrow.

In the event of two people posting a new fact at 13:05 tomorrow - who is deemed the owner of the "Fact of the Day"?
Will it be open to a general vote based on the "well I never" quotient?
Willthe loser be subject to a penalty so that he/she must refrain from attempting to post an interesting fact for a penalty period of , say, one week?

Now why does there have to be some sort of punishment element to this?, with all the other abuse going on elsewhere on the site, it's getting more like a fetish scene everyday.

[chicken]

no punishment, no retraction of post, no retribution whatsoever.

If two people post in quick succession then my belief in the positive human spirit will assert that it was an accident.

If someone willfully breaks the "one post per day" rule then I will be sad but will move on with my life....

Why not?
A good bit of punishment never hurt anybody!
