Mary Roach visits former head hunter territory to witness world's hottest pepper eating contest

In Smithsonian Magazine. Choice summary: 

The chili pepper does not want to be your friend. It wants to hurt you so badly you turn it loose.

But I also rather like the post-game synposis:

Out in the arena, beyond the stage, the festival has moved on. The squeals of a greased pig contest provide soprano counterpart for the low tones of digestive torment. Backstage, the carnage has reached a peak. A paisley of curled up, writhing youth covers the floor. The drinking water cheerfully dispensed a half-hour ago is coming back up. The Christmas elves are abandoning their posts. From the far corner, Aaron, the photographer on the story, yells without taking his gaze from the lens. “Mary! Is my camera bag on high ground?”

In the tradition of the post-game interview, a chat with the winner seems to be in order. He’s now lying against a wall in the fetal position, his head supported by the caved-in cardboard Nestlé’s box. He speaks little English, but manages to convey his state: “Very no.”

Woah! I'm really enjoying the template/theme of this blog. It's simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's very difficult to get that "perfect balance" between superb usability and visual appearance. I must say that you've done a awesome job with this. Additionally, the blog loads extremely quick for me on Opera. Excellent Blog!

At this time it sounds like Movable Type is the preferred blogging platform out there right now. (from what I've read) Is that what you are using on your blog?
