I'm not much of a NiN fan, it just hapened to be playing and I figured I'd break up my usual Trance-fest with something different. Should have posted this one, since it's kinda pretty for depressing music. Some of Reznor's work with Ross is nice.

... does that make me an endangered species, or a limited edition?

chuckle - actually, I know you exist, because there's that darn camera around here somewhere that lets you get the 'posting jump' on me, although the situation did improve after the redis issues were resolved

"Endangered species" doesn't apply; there are plenty of Homo Sapiens Sapiens around (but most aren't sapient  ). "Limited edition" sounds too much like marketerese for "we had too many of these left in the warehouse; let's see if we can get rid of move them by rebranding."
No, you're stuck with being unique - just like the other 8,000 million of us.

OOO! I wish you hadn't mentioned rebranding ...
I like hot sauce; and I really like the flavour of Scotch Bonnet chilis - so when I noticed I was running out of hot sauce I added it to the shopping list. "Encona West Indian Extra Hot Pepper Sauce". It's hot, but not quite as hot as I'd like, but a really good flavour.
Get to the supermarket, and spot a different bottle: "Encona West Indian Exxxtra Hot Pepper Sauce". Ah! The same thing, but hotter! I'll try that one.
Get it home, and do a quick taste test - tastes the same (good!), but ... seems like the same heat (bad).
Look closely ... barcode number is the same, ingredients list is the same ... it's the same damn sauce, but slightly rebranded to make it look hotter.
And you can only tell when you have the original and new bottles side by side.

I've a garden actually bursting with Habanero and Yellow Trinidad Scorpion peppers. Especially, the former which seem to be running ahead of the usual end-of-august ripening.
Scotch bonnets may be a bit hotter than the habanero but the scorpions of this type, tame in the realm of this type of pepper, as in the 1,000,000 Scoville range when ripe. And like the scotch bonnets and habaneros, they're capsaicin chinese, which gives them that nicer flavor and heat that kicks in late.
My normal treatment is to grind with enough vinegar so as to make a paste and then use it very cautiously. I might also throw in a vitamin C pill to act as a preservative (as a reducing agent, it helps the peppers not turn slowly browner).
There are a lot of online sources for much-too-hot-for-humans sauces which, even if exaggerated, their content means they'll not disappoint.*
* I don't use these to make insanely hot food - for a given heat it just taste better

Or even worse: An unsuccessful prototype?
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

I prefer to think they realized I'd be too expensive to manufacture in volume.

If you believe a certain Mr. Darwin, then no living thing will ever be anything more than a prototype. Mass production of any single one is not intended any time soon.

Some things may not be part of god's plan, but that does not keep some idiots from trying to do it anyway.

Does that imply your value increases after you're dead?

Putting your well-established multiple personality disorder aside, I think you'd be better served with a more scientific sounding description. Perhaps you should consider "anomaly", or in old-school genetic description (plant husbandry), a "sport".
I promised myself not to bring up any possibility of a hybridization with Ovis aries, no matter how high the probability in your particular environment.
