I've had a thermos flask implode on me once. I half-filled a flask with very hot coffee. This heated the air above it, and the increase in air pressure was enough to break the glass lining, causing the vacuum to implode.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

You don't think thermal stress may have cracked the glass?

That is a possibility. But I would expect the glass to have been designed to survive boiling water.

And when it does cool down, it's vacuum sealed, so you can't open it!

I just had this conversation with a cold caller.
Phone rings and I answer
Caller : Hi I'm calling from the Accident blah blah blah.
Me: Fine, but first I'll need to identify you.
Caller: Emm.. OK
Me: Could I have your full name please.
Caller: "Some name"
Me: And your date of birth?
Caller: "..../1993"
Me: And what is the secret password?
Caller: What password?
Me:The password to speak to me.
Caller: I don't have a password.
Me: Then I won't be able to continue this conversation.
Caller: String of expletives.
Phone hangs up.

You joined CP at the age of 11 and at 23 you are working in a call centre. There is a lesson in that.

I actually think that's brilliant. Sometimes I sort of feel sorry for the telemarketers.

The other day, I got a call from a very nice sounding young lady - perky, you could almost see her shiny smile and curls... then I realized I was talking to a computer.
