You can't tell me "A watched pot never boils". Of course it does! Remember, you have to turn the stove on, dummy!Sure, it might seem like it's taking forever, but eventually it'll boil, whether you watch it or not. I guarantee it.
I suppose the pot itself doesn't boil. I don't know if most stovetops can get that hot. But if we're talking about what's IN the pot - water, for instance - yeah, that'll boil.

Adagebuster.
