Burnt my cha (tea) and almost my house - Day Trading Dangers

I consider my cha (tea) a very important aspect of my day to day routine. It relaxes me, it warms me up (since my office is in my basement) and lastly it is my CHA, I take great pride in it. But today, I came down after showering, it was about 09:15 (that is late) and since the market opens at 09:30 I was in a rush. So what did I do? I put my cha on the stove and went into my office to see what is up with the markets and which stocks I want to trade......very tragic mistake

at 09:31 (1 minute into market open) my fire alarm starts going PEW PEW PEW PEW...I was like huhhh???? "omg my CHA"

The following pictures are of the tragic scene. My cha was burnt, my pots base separated from the rest of the pot, it is no longer useful.

Base of my cha pot separated from the TOP...when I tested my pot to see if it was safe to use again, water came out from that nasty nasty separated area.

My mom called me, I told her what happened, she was upset. I put the pot in the backyard. It is now resting. 

And like anything else in life, when one thing can't do the job "on to the next one"
