I don't think there are media tags for Wimp.com, but regardless I found it funny.

Meh, seen it 3 years ago on Discovery.
No wait, it's not the same video. But it's very similar.

3 gigawatts?! 3 GIGAWATTS?!

I've been told this tons of times by teachers and stuff, but I assumed it was an urban legend or at least false to some extent. It's pretty interesting.

You could power two DeLorean time machines with that and still have some left over.

The British people [B]must [/B]have their tea, no matter the cost; it was our top concern during the 1950's and a brewing cold war.

The great thing is, there are HUGE power generators built into mountains in wales, for the soul purpose of coping with kettles being turned on.

It's amazing how much effort we put in for our tea.

But if flavored correctly tea is awesome.

I don't understand why this is funny

just because it's tea?

[darnok]

Tea tastes like hot water that used to have leaves soaking in it.

It smells ridiculously good, however.

Its because so many people are sucked in to watching a boring soap opera every single night of the week.
