[web-heads] thank goodness for science

Scientists build indesctructible coffee mug, still no cure for cancer.

Great quote: "Tech's cup "kind of looks like a bomb," Hirschfeld said.
"It's rounded (at the bottom)" So it can survive a 15' drop onto
pavement without spilling, but setting it down on a flat table
guarantees it will tip over and spill. Surely there's some middle
ground here.
