Apparently at least two of my cow orkers have ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW why, if you microwave a mug of water and then put a tea bag in, the water fizzes and bubbles madly.
Now they know, because I gave them the full physics explanation of it, complete with liberal usage of the phrase "nucleation sites".
Apparently this made several people's day. It certainly made mine.
(As a bonus, I never actually make tea that way.)
people are insane,
science,
trivia,
work
