Your name will carry on through generations, and will never be forgotten.
Side Bar:
If you are reheating something breaded in the microwave, such as a hot sandwich, you may find that the ends or corners get hard.
Put a glass of water in the microwave with the food, the water will keep the bread hydrated, and your food will not have hard ends or corners.
This works quite well with microwave pizzas.

What the hell kind of person microwaves water?
Probably running on a Pentium 4
Push a button on the Keurig, instant cup of hot water whenever needed. Laser thermometer for matching water temperature to specific types of tea.
If I feel fancy, I'll heat water in a pan on the gas stove to a precise temperature then decant it into one of those cast-iron Japanese style teapots for serving. Steep in the pan or pot, again depending on the type of tea, how many people are partaking, etc.
Electric kettles (especially those which will maintain a programmable temperature for you) are great for larger quantities or extended multi-national tea-orgies.

I only have a "kettle" because my mother left me, but I'm a coffee drinker so I use my coffee maker a lot more.
but I do use my microwave to heat up water n milk for hot chocolate sometimes.
Electric kettle. Never heard of someone using the microwave for water :s
Microwave water for like Oatmeal and other things.
Iv'e done it a few times for water for instant coffee
How does a fancy Breville Tea maker count? It's got multiple settings for the type of tea you have and heats the water according to type and then steeps it accordingly as well. Before that, the wife did mostly a pan on the stove, which I guess would be Kettle.
Google says
Sure. Microwave ovens use electromagnetic radiation to heat water molecules in food. It's the heat, not the microwaves, that's lethal here; the hotter you make your food, the more likely you are to kill the bacteria in it. (Some contend microwave energy itself is fatal to bacteria, but that's unproven.)

Manly way to heat water.
