Need a new mug
As Scoobynet is the fount of all knowledge, I thought I'd ask for help.
I need a new mug for work. As I work in IT, it needs to be as geeky as it is funny, it needs to baffle as much as excite and it needs to hold coffee, white, with 2 sugars.

Not exicted by any of those yet. Perhaps I should try and find a real petrol head one and out-geek the geeks by being geekier than them on a subject they know nothing about?

Must get out past the M25 at some point in the future. Maybe I'll go there with a copy of Watership Down!

No mug suggestions, except the ones with the bikin'd birds that get naked when hot water added (thats my work mug). Just wanted to say the badger badger badger song has given many minutes of pleasure in the past ... a snake ohhh a snake!

Can't see that working somehow; maximum power available from a USB port is just 2.5W, and surely no geek would want to violate that spec just to keep his coffee hot?
On the other hand, a modern CPU draws close to 100W which should be plenty to actually make the coffee in the first place - combined PC and coffee maker, anybody?
