    Maybe I’ve been too far up the other long tail of the intelligence bell curve for far too long, but doesn’t “boiled” - the past participle of “to boil” indicate that this should be water in a post-boiled state? As in, water that is no longer even warm, much less hot?

    I am struggling to understand how anyone can think that pouring boiling or even still-hot water into their eyes is anything within even ICBM range of “a good idea”.

      Have you seen what people do while driving? Do you think they are paying more or less attention to some doctor talking at them than they are operating a large deadly machine?
