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.

Nice, but possible production issues I have a lot of WW items, including at least 6 other mugs. (It tends to be my family’s gift of choice for me. I love it!) I do like that this mug shows how Wonder Woman’s look has changed through the decades. That’s a lot of fun and actually quite interesting. The colors in real life are a bit muted compared to the photo, and my mug had a very small chip at the bottom in addition to a raised bit on the bottom rim. I had to use a metal file to rub it down so that it wouldn’t scratch the…
Awesome WW Mug I love the images on this mug. I have loved Wonder Woman since the series was on in the 70s and I’m glad to have a mug that depicts her changes through the years. The mug is a great size and it’s dishwasher and microwave safe, which is a huge consideration for me. I’ve hand washed so far and it’s been great, no stains. It’s a perfect size for my Keurig too; I really like the shorter, wider profile instead of a taller mug.
Great mug The colors and the artwork are great on this mug. It came as expected. It was a gift for my girlfriend and she loved it. Even the box the mug was in was nice, she displayed it on a shelf. I’m not sure if you can tell by the picture, or if it matters, but the mug is kind of short and wide. Probably only pertains to my situation, but we use a little single cup/camping style coffee maker and it doesn’t quite fit on it comfortably. Other than that, it’s perfect.
