You're like this Irish bridge that has the notation inscribed on it as well.

I would like to own an OpenGL kettle with the expression on it.

Friesland (formerly part of Melitta) sells the kettle for about 37 euro. If you have a way to add the messaging, you are well on your way.

Hahaha! That reminds me of the time I couldn't recall the name for "leaf blower" and called them an "air rake".

If anyone's curious the story is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah_teapot

Do you mean the Utah Teapot?

[s_dev]

Yes -- I don't even know why I had the word kettle in my head.

I knew what you meant and didn't even consider that it was the wrong name, for what it's worth.

Kettle and teapot are synonyms as far as I'm concerned.

These are different equipment.

A kettle is used for heating water. In earlier times, it was made out of metal and put onto a heat source (fire, stovetop). Nowadays it is almost entirely displaced by the electric kettle, which is commonly made out of plastic and contains a metal heating plate or spiral on the inside.

A teapot is a ceramic pitcher where you put the boiling water and tea leaves to brew the tea.

Earlier-time kettles may be more common than you think.

[war1025]

Either way, a water kettle is super useful, often surprisingly so.

Definitely a kitchen gadget I'd recommend to anyone.

[jfengel]

Kettles go on the stove (or have a built in heater), and are used for boiling water.

You pour the boiling water into a teapot, usually made of ceramic, which holds the tea leaves.

Not that it's important, but now ya know.

They're both called black.

When I visited Dublin that was the one spot I absolutely had to visit. For some folks it was the Temple Bar, for others the James Joyce trail. For me, it was the plaque on the Broombridge and the Trinity College Library.

If you ever happen to be near a Siggraph the render man guys hand out little walking Utah teapots - a tradition going back many years apparently. Worth the price of admission :-)

[CountHackulus]

I explicitly made a detour when I was in Dublin to take a picture of it the plaque on that bridge. Worth it.

[Isamu]

Any idea why the name Hamilton appears to be deliberately defaced on the inscription?
