What's the deal on the HOTTEST Pepper in the world?

This appears to be an older post, but wow how things have changed. I agree with Penny. Once it gets so hot what difference does it make? From what I read last the Moruga Scorpion just surpassed the Trinidad Scorpion Butch T in a test by the New Mexico Chili Institute. They appear to be neck and neck for the number one spot. I currently grow both for cool factor. I love the look I get from people when I explain the difference between the two when compared to a Jalapeño.
