DNCO meets RHCP

[greatbear]

What would happen if a Danish chamber orchestra were to encounter red hot chili peppers? Not the funky rock band, but the actual peppers?

Behold:

And, yes, the bearded fella conducting is really named Chili Claus. I have to say, the musicians kept it pretty much together despite eating some of the hottest peppers in the world. After finishing the piece, though, their reaction is pretty much the same as mine after watching the recent election results.

Is it viral yet?

I love this video; my comment on the YouTube page was that all the reed players are going to have to throw their reeds out, because they're contaminated now.

(Several years ago, I made the mistake of chopping Serrano peppers and then not washing my hands thoroughly enough before putting my contact lenses in. Oh! The! Pain!—Never again.)

It's not that viral yet, or not as far as I know, I found it on a tech blog. It should be, though. :)

I did something similar years ago when a bunch of us at work were trying out these killer nucular atomic hot wings, I dipped my finger into the sauce just enough to get one drop, then tasted it. Holy shit that was like eating hot lava. It took a while for the fire to subside. Other people looked like they had been maced after a couple bites. I thought I had wiped off any residue from my finger, but after lunch I rubbed my eye and I wanted to dig it out of my skull with a screwdriver.

Well, this is the third place I've seen it this week, although the second place was the blog of andrewducker.
