Researchers find hot chilies are for the birds Two researchers working with a Tucson organization have found that chilies are hot because they're for the birds.

The results of their study appear in today's issue of Nature magazine. http://www.fantrax.com/i.cfm?DID=103264&UID=45904528&MID=158491 _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
