Aug 16 2007Connectable Coffee Mugs
Designer Jonathan Aspinall has developed coffee mugs that can be linked together to form a six mug chain that can (allegedly) be easily carried. Each mug has a plus shaped male connection on one side, and matching female on the other. Now I don't know about you, but if I was sporting these around the office one morning, I imagine they would be in a coworker's trunk by mid-afternoon. I'm sticking to my trusty urine sample cup. People don't even come into the cubicle, let alone think about stealing my mug.

make it so the newest comments are at the top of the page, that will get rid of FIRSTS!

But then we wouldn't know who was first... and that's important. Cause people often comment in response to others' comments and it sucks to get the punchline first you would end up reading the last comments (which are actually the FIRST comments) first and all that effort would have gone to waste.
Plus, being first is great. It's the brass ring that's been pounded straight. Why would you want to take that away from people?

I work for the government, so I'm all about taking things away from people. It's what we do for fun. I'm not kidding.

#3 - Ummm... forgive me if I'm being thicker than a bowl of cream of cement soup, but couldn't someone type first even if they weren't? If you were the next person to add a comment and typed FIRST it'd appear instantly at the top anyway under that system. And I guarantee you that the kind of person who types FIRST would come back here and keep entering it so it stays at the top.
Also, as Wannabe indicates, FIRST is the zenith of radness.

Oooh, I was so wrapped up in FIRST (complete with quilted lining) that I forgot to pass judgement on these mugs:
NO.

Holy crap people, we are getting off topic. Think of the possibilities. With six coffee mugs connected, we could easily dowse the office jerk in tons of hot coffee. That or this is one of the gayest things I have ever seen.

So, this is a euphemism for something?

I guess this is useful.

Homosexual? What an insightful remark.

This could be pretty useful in restaurants. It would make caring drinks easier (if you wanted to give up your serving tray of course).
