 Hi all,
 I may be an old wives tale.  I don't see how it could happen either, but we 
 have had some pretty hot bell peppers a couple of years.  Anyone have any 
 scientific reason for why bell peppers would end up hot?

It is not an old wives tale.  Peppers do cross pollinate if the bees work the 
blossoms. Peppers make seeds the seeds are the hottest part of a hot pepper. 
so it stands to reason if a sweet pepper and a hot pepper which are in the 
same family cross pollinate then the seeds will gain heat.
