I have a hellish schedule today — a big committee meeting I have to chair, a student presentation, and then I have to scamper downtown and get a haircut (there goes all my strength) — and so naturally I needed to fortify myself with a hot cup of tea. I walked down the hall to fill up my electric kettle at the office tap, dum-dee-dum-dum, and when it filled, I looked down and…
I’m looking down on the opening of my grayish-black kettle, and there in the middle, it’s THE BLOB! It looked like some awful pale gray clotted slime, and I thought for a moment about what kind of contaminant was accumulating in our plumbing.
But of course you’ve already figured out what it is.
