Dave at the World's Fair is asking ScienceBloggers to show off their coffee mugs. I don't usually have a camera at work, but my signature mug was bought via the Internet, so I snagged the image from the CafePress Store.
It's a "Still Not King" mug, a reference to the famous Very Secret Diary of Aragorn. To the best of my recollection, nobody has recognized this reference and asked about it.
Of course, it's been over a year since I drank tea, thanks to my stomach problems, and I never liked coffee, so at the moment, the mug is holding a couple of pens and a thermometer. But if I were to start drinking tea again, that's what I'd use.

I tossed this out to my class:
