Today, waiting for hot plates to cool off, I dropped some water on them
and watched it bead and roll, like little marbles. The sound when the
water hit the hot plate was like a solid hitting. Not until 15 minutes
had passed and the plate had cooled quite a bit did the water react the
way I expected -- bubbling and hissing and forming a puddle.

Why?
