| Schmidt Sting Pain Index I was looking up some information on wasps and hornets (the flying insect kind, not the aircraft carriers) and saw this link. I didnt even know this scale existed. I like this one. Perfect to drop down the back of the shirt of your favorite enemy. "4.0+ Bullet ant: Pure, intense, brilliant pain. Like walking over flaming charcoal with a 3-inch nail in your heel."
