This is less rejoycing than it may sound : I dropped my cup of boiling tea ![Java | [Coffee]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif) while sitting at my kitchen table ( "sitting" litteraly, I was dragging the chair under me to get nearer to the table, so the table did not shelter from the beverage  ), just spent the last 30 min in the cold shower to calm the burn on my thighs. It elephanting hurts. From the appearance of it : about 0,5 m² of 1st grade, and one or 2 spots 2nd grade. Damn.
The next step will be to decide if I go to work with short pants, or if I try the normal pants.

Advantage of coffee (espresso, of course) over tea: much less liquid to drop lead to less serious burns

in addition to the fact that, to my knowledge, water for coffee is usually not brought to boiling point. (or should not be) ![Java | [Coffee]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif)

Of course, even if Moka pots[^] reach abuot 90° C so the coffee is VERY hot.
A shot of moka coffee is usually the same quantity of a modern espresso (three times the original espresso quantity) but much hotter. Moka are widely used in Italy, especially at home, where using an espresso is seen as "less refined" (also moka uses less coffee powder to bring the same quantity of liquid coffee without losing strenght).

Good one. Though even 10 degrees difference can change a lot and tea is probably not exactly 100 degrees, but 105 or even more depending how long it boiled and how ...

If it's hot enough to do that to your thighs, how in the world can you even drink it? 
A guy I used to work with would get the hot water from the coffee dispenser and then microwave it to get it even hotter to make his tea.

Part of the tea drinking protocol is to leave it to cool for a few minutes while you engage in banter or read a newspaper. You may, however, take brief sips even at its hottest, cooling it by introducing air using much the same technique as a wine taster with the attendant improvement of taste perception. Tea is a drink to be appreciated, not knocked back in gulps as coffee is in certain parts of the world which shall remain unnamed.
Having said that it is considered entirely normal in China to slurp soups and the like at far greater temperatures (due to the fat content) than a cup of freshly made tea will ever achieve. Of course the concomitant is the highest rate of throat and mouth cancers in the world so I'm not recommending it!

You make it sound sophisticated.

Won't offend me, I don't drink either of them.

I barely noticed it yesterday and didn't give two elephants about. I guess some monkey-trained people may have hard times finding "the Internet" in the unlikely hypotesis they had a Google logo on the link of their utterly chaotic litterb desktop.

I completely and utterly fail at any attempt to care.

Don't care about their logo but what I finally realize is that their name hints at their enormous data gathering. Go Ogle. It can be interpreted as if you should go ogling for information about rather it was the start of the great data gathering for commercial purposes where the user is the product. Ha I'm finally on to GoOgle!

I dislike "e" letter and colored G letter.

The logo is fantastic.
I stared at that new letter e for 10 minutes solid last night because it is so beautiful.
The genius it took to alter that logo like that is lost on the masses.
This is the logo which will take Google into the next millenium.
This logo stands above all other logos.
This logo is so perfect only people with low IQs (aka Internet denizens) will not understand it.
Uh, by the way, Sergey and/or Larry, you can send the large monetary gift to my paypal account.I believe billion has 9 zeros in it. Anything in that range will be fine.
That logo is superfantastic with extra-beautiful sauce on top.
This logo has changed the world.

Not a big fan of the new logo; however, I did enjoy the doodle.
