What I Know Today....

[gness]

...that I didn't know yesterday.....

Monks used Monk's Pepper for it's anti-libido effect.....
As the book I'm reading headed the chapter.....Pepper in the Underwear....I pictured the monks lining up like children for medicine......the head monk standing at the front of the queue with a big wooden pepper mill........grinding away into held out boxers.......

Pliny the Elder stated that the leaves of the plant placed in the bedding of ladies cooled the heat of lust......now why would you think to do that?
I reckon Pliny was simply unfanciable......x

i always wondered what the jar of monk's pepper was for when doris was ironing my boxer shorts

Woman : "Doctor - every time I sneeze I get an orgasm"

Doctor : "Have you already taken anything?"

Woman : "Pepper ..."

On your link, Mamya, it says //This is a cross-pollinating plant. However self-pollination may also occur now and then.[5]//

Is that because it can't be bothered? :-)

[Mamyalynne]

Or has a headache.

[pixie374]

Lol :-)

[sunny-dave]

I think the shoots will come up blind if it self-pollinates ...

[gness]

It is an interesting plant, Mamya...and an interesting book.....
100 Plants that almost changed the World....Chris Beardshaw.....

Dipping in and out I've found some fascinating things about plants......will post more maybe...... :-)

Hot stuff.

Turmeric plus, the ultimate pregnancy relief.....?

Which Indian God came up with that? Shatki in putting a sheep's intestine over Shiva's enormous phallic member and adding a bit of a repellent at the same time.....

[gness]

In their boxers, OG?...Are you sure?...Tell you what...you experiment and report back.... ;-)

[Old_Geezer]

Chilli powder works better.

[tonyav]

I bet that there boxers were made out of sack cloth ( gawd, they'd be itchier than the pepper ).

[gness]

OG seems to know quite a bit about this subject..... ;-)

Tony.....if you're inclined I can run you up a pair......!

[tonyav]

Nooooooo ( and no ashes either ).

[gness]

Oh bums!.....and I've just got a good pile of logs burning in the garden.... :-(

[DTCwordfan]
