This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Anon forgot that temperature in a substance is not uniform. This normally doesn't matter, but if a part becomes hotter than the boiling point it will leave before it has a chance to go back to average temperature. So yes, the water "went to 212" before evaporating.
