Simple conversation about making tea can turn into this:
- I already have hot water, except it must be cold by now ... and oxidized. How long does it take for water to oxidize?
- Isn't it already oxidized?
- No, when you boil water it loses the oxygen. That's why fish can't live in boiling water.
- !?!
