Better to heat it in a kettle, heating it in the microwave will burn your fingers on the mug when you try to take it out :44:

I found with microwaving a mug of water, it explodes when you put the tea bag in and you're left with hardly any water.

How to break a bath- cast iron I assume- lump hammer and ear defenders. And thick gloves

 

[Silly Sausage]

Oh No!
Don’t start that argument please.
Another board I’m a member of the question was asked, “Is it better to heat a cupful of water in a microwave or in a kettle?”

37000 post on “How to break a bath” was also a good one. It went off topic a bit.

And don't forget the classic 'Will an aeroplane on a conveyor belt take off?'
Aaarggh!

No, the tyres will explode due to centrifugal force caused by overspeed!

 

[Knobhead]

Bloody long conveyor mind!

centripetal?

 

[Knobhead]

Hang on!
If the conveyor is runnind in the direction of take off then no problem.

Still want to see this conveyor though.

 

[ackbarthestar]

Wouldn't you need to be running at take off speed plus conveyor speed before you would sustain a complete/successful lift-off ?

How long is this conveyor?

 

[electric will]

yes it will take off cus the plane is pushed forwards due to the propellers acting against the air so the plane accelerates as normal,

 

[gutterball]

http://youtu.be/0ul_5DtMLhc this has been tested on mythbusters. The plane took off.

Spoilsport!

Spoilsport!

sorry tony, although I may have cheated, I seen it on myth busters too.

About the same amount of time i'd say, but far cheaper to use the microwave at 800/900W than a kettle at 2500/3000W lol!!

Is this like the mentality test?

You have a bath full of water, what's the quickest way of emptying it?
You have a spoon, and a cup.

Pull the plug????

This has been going that long the waters evaporated. Don’t switch either the microwave or kettle on.

So it'll be down to Iced Tea, or frappe (iced coffee) then!! lol!!

 

[Knobhead]

Iced Earl Grey and I'm putty in you're hands, just a spot of lemon though.

Still got to boil the water first though. You of all people should know about tea :drool5:
