Jeez RK/Tflan, I was only offering a simple caution that might save someone from injury, not trying to put down anyone's methods. Take it or leave it. RK, I respect your opinion, so when I first read your advice as to the risks of using a drill bit instead of a reamer in certain situations, I changed my methods. I did this regardless of the fact that I had successfully been using just a drill bit for the past 7-8 years without ever sustaining any kind of injury. Just because it "NEVER" happened to me before, didn't mean that I rejected your caution that it could. Before any of you decide whether I know what I'm talking about, you might want to do a little research. I just did. Take a look at these links before you dismiss what I say. If you care to ignore it further, well, that's up to you too. I hope you wear glasses. http://abcnews.go.com/sections/primetime/2020/PRIMETIME_010315_superheating_ feature.html <http://abcnews.go.com/sections/primetime/2020/PRIMETIME_010315_superheating _feature.html> http://www.phys.unsw.edu.au/~jw/superheating.html <http://www.phys.unsw.edu.au/~jw/superheating.html> http://members.aol.com/chemeplus/NukingWater.shtml <http://members.aol.com/chemeplus/NukingWater.shtml> http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/consumer/erupted.html <http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/consumer/erupted.html> http://rabi.phys.virginia.edu/HTW//microwave_ovens.html <http://rabi.phys.virginia.edu/HTW//microwave_ovens.html> http://www.urbanlegends.com/ulz/microwave.html <http://www.urbanlegends.com/ulz/microwave.html> <http://members.aol.com/chemeplus/NukingWater.shtml> Dan Neubecker [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I've been heating water for 3 minutes, or until it boils, in a glass coffee cup for about 6 years now and have "NEVER" had a problem. All you need is a cup, water, microwave and good common sense.

I've been doing that since about 1988 for my morning cuppa tea. Never had an explosion. Guess I've been lucky. Or perhaps Stossel is a whining wienie? Seriously, that's one of the silliest "consumer warnings" I've heard. H2O exploding? Come on! Remember the old gal who spilled a cup of McDonald's coffee in her lap and sued for a zillion bucks? Or the gal who burned her lip with a hot pickle slice from Burger King? Or the lady in a wheelchair who, while crossing the street against a traffic light was hit by a car and she sued the wheelchair manufacturer?And they all won lawsuits? I and no doubt millions of others have boiled H20 in the micro with no untoward effects. What the hell ever became of common sense?
