not true, I just saw it happen, in a glass pot which allowed me unfettered viewing access.

it just takes a little while, whoever came up with that saying is mad impatient.

You're obviously a witch and should be burnt at the stake.

Cool story br--*sniped by ninja elephant army*

(On a more serious note: you can boil water in a glass pot without damaging the pot? Thermodynamics is not my strong point)

I'm guessing that saying came from a time when you had to build your own fire and fetch your own water before you could boil it.

And if you actually sat there and watched it, your feudal lord would come in and beat your *** for being lazy.

I've only ever watched the moment of boiling in Chemistry. When I'm cooking, it always trolls me so hard.

Yeah. Don't get me wrong, this thread made me chuckle, but...

It'll become far too spammy far too fast.
