How on earth?
Neodymium rare-earth magnets have occult powers and are probably created by extraterrestrials who seek to scour our planet of all its tea. They probably
spontaneously migrated up scruff's nostrils en route to his brain.
The other day I engaged in a mighty struggle to pull apart two of those magnets that had become stuck together. It was incredibly difficult... and that was without their being up my nose!

We were using them to make a couple demonstrations about magnetism as part of a school project, but inevitably we started playing with them and hilarity ensued.
To be honest though, the boiling water probably hurt a lot more-- at least physically.

Aw! Hope you're alright. I would call that tea clumsiness, not tea idiocy, though...
'tea idiocy' consists of such things as buying tea from the mall, drinking lipton teabags that sit in the mug for 20 minutes, calling herbal infusions 'tea,' etc

Woo hoo! I am not a tea idiot! I just have the fine motor skills of a sloth on acid. Huzzah!
