Brought to You by The Unemployed Philosophers Guild The origins of the Unemployed Philosophers Guild are shrouded in mystery. Some accounts trace the Guild’s birth to Athens in the latter half of the 4th century BCE. Allegedly, several lesser philosophers grew weary of the endless Socratic dialogue endemic in their trade and turned to crafting household implements and playthings. (Hence the assertions that Socrates quaffed his hemlock poison from a Guild-designed chalice, though vigorous debate surrounds the question of whether it was a “disappearing” chalice.) Others argue that the UPG dates from the High Middle Ages, when the Philosophers Guild entered the world of commerce by selling bawdy pamphlets to pilgrims facing long lines for the restroom. Business boomed until 1211 when Pope Innocent III condemned the publications. Not surprisingly, this led to increased sales, even as half our membership was burned at the stake. More recently, revisionist historians have pinpointed the birth of the Guild to the time it was still cool to live in New York City’s Lower East Side. Two brothers turned their inner creativity and love of paying rent towards fulfilling the people’s needs for finger puppets, warm slippers, coffee cups, and cracking up at stuff.

Calling Doctor Who! You can kill Weeping Angels with a common household dishwasher! WARNING: Don’t put this in the dishwasher! The dishwasher is too hot for the appliqued Weeping Angels! Hand wash this only! Come to think of it, if Doctor Who had a large enough dishwasher, he could have probably got rid of the Weeping Angels before the first commercial break and still had time to dispose of a whole legion of Daleks!
Poor quality design I’m very disappointed in the quality of this mug. My husband got this as a Christmas gift and when I opened the box the other day, I discovered portion of the design just flakes off when I touch it. I’m returning for a refund and will not order this or something similar again.
Not a sturdy ink Cute idea, but the picture started to fall off in bits as soon as I started to wash it. Instruction say not to soak it in water, but even running water over it was too much for it.
