Travis, you seem fond of unequivocal statements... I'm not
sure if you're trolling or what, but a water drop certainly can
act as a magnifying glass. Imagine the geometry of a drop,
it's easy to see how it acts as a lens.

Don't take my word for it, google "water drop magnify physics"
and follow any link, the first will do.

Just wanted to clear that up for anyone without a physics
degree.

Agreed, but one cannot burn the leaf or plant part it is resting
on. It is far too close.
