Habanero.

So I got on the Habanero team this year.
First, I was stoked that I was on the same team as almost all of my friends.
Then I was glad I wasn't a frickin wanderer of the prairie and whatnot.[pioneer]
THEN I was glad I was no longer a finder of the path or a wave that happened to be blue.

...but then I realized I had no clue what a freaking habanero was.

"Is it a pepper or something??"
Kayla[or Avonne, I can't remember] frowned and said, "hmm- I think you're thinking of Jalapeño."

And now it's bugging me.

Habanero.
Habanero.
Habanero.
....WHAT THE HELL IS A HABANERO??

So I went to my good friend blackle, which is SO much cooler than google, and hit the searchymerglobbin.
I pulled up Wikipedia, even though I hated them because they told me I needed to stop replacing random nouns with bodily organs and functions.

The habanero chile (Capsicum chinense Jacquin) (sometimes incorrectly spelled "habañero"[1]) is one of the most intensely spicy species of chili peppers of the Capsicum genus.

I KNEW IT WAS A PEPPER! :D
Not only that, but it's a genius of Capsicum- whatever Capsicum is.

The Unripe habaneros are green, but the color at maturity varies

Typically a ripe habanero is 2–6 centimeters (1–2½ in) long.

…wow. The habanero seems to be a bit small down there.
;]

Upon its rediscovery by Europeans, it was rapidly disseminated around the world.

…THEY DE-SEMENATED IT?? D:
THAT'S JUST…. DIRTY.

Both the Scotch bonnet and the habanero have the characteristic thin, waxy flesh.

…okay, is this an encyclopedia entry or a porno?

They have a similar heat level and flavor. Although both varieties average around the same level of heat, the actual degree of "heat" varies greatly with genetics.

That's why people who have the same genes shouldn't create heat together, no matter how much they enjoy each other's flavor.
You end up with a kid with eleven toes and three ears.

Habanero bushes are good candidates for a container garden.

…OKAY, I'VE HAD ENOUGH.
I don't want to know what's contained inside a habanero's bush.
