Why would anyone plant and grow Habanero peppers? Are they insane?

At about a gazillion scoville heat units, you'd think anyone that routinely grew these hottest of hot peppers would be also trying to get their mental elevator up out of the basement! Not me! (I have a basement and haven't found any elevators down there)! But wait. It's not really like that! While these 'Scotch Bonnet like peppers' date back to over 8,500 years ago, after they were discovered by some Spaniards messing around in Columbia, they have since found their way into commercial and home-brewed hot sauces all over the globe! This season, I'm going to be growing four or five plants which should yield enough peppers by season's end to supply my needs for chili dishes and beef stir-fries all through the coming winter. And, while these peppers are really too hot to heat raw, they lose most of that heat when cooked! What's left over is a rather interesting sensation of hotness that is hard to describe and has to be experienced to be understood. Suffice it to say that a good bowl of chili with a pepper or two added will keep a body pretty warm!
