It's called the Scoville Scale. It measures the the capsaicin content of the pepper, and then ranks it. The more capsaicin, the hotter the pepper. You see, capsaicin stimulates nerve endings in the skin that the brain interprets as heat. It sends out pain, heat, and dryness signals as a result - and essentially makes it feel like you're holding a hot coal in your mouth. The hottest pepper in the world - at 1.5 million SHU (Scoville Heat Units) - is the Naga Jolokia pepper. It grows wild in Bangladesh. People who aren't accustomed to the heat of the pepper have reported passing out. Some people have even experienced a sort of anaphylactic shock due to the heat.

The Scoville Scale is a measure of the heat level or pungency of chilli peppers; the greater number of Scoville units, the hotter the pepper. The scoville scale measures the level of capsaicin, the active principle that causes the heat. The scale ranges from the bell pepper with zero scoville units, through jalapeno's with between 2,500m - 10,000 units, to the hottest chillies habaneros and scotch bonnets between 80,000 - 300,000. One of the hottest chillies was a Red Savina habanero with 577, 000 scoville units. In Februari 2007 the Naga-Bih Jolokia pepper cultivated at New Mexico State University have stood-up to testing, a specimen registering a staggering 1,001,304 Scoville heat units was officially acclaimed by the Guinness World Record as the new worlds hottest pepper. Naga Jolokia is nearly twice as hot as the previous holder, the Red Savina habanerp. Pure capsaicin is 16,000,000 units.

There is a "Scoville" scale that measures heat units. The hotness of a pepper is derived from the amount of the active ingredient capsaisin that it contains. Personally I like hot pepppers and can consume everything up to habaneros (with food). Beyond that, if there are any hotter, that's too much for me.
Yes, it definitely is. Phall is one of the hottest regular varieties available.
