   I love this product idea, but the image is haunting me.

   Every time I see it again at the top of the page, it looks like an evil volcanic rooster head is thrusting out of the mug...

   Well it's neat to know there's a name for what I've always heard called brass knuckles.

   Isn't there a danger for folks that they'll break the handle off and use those knuckle dusters on someone? Still I would buy this because God help me the amount of people I have to deal with in IT. :s

   Funny to see that in our society weaponry and violence on its own or combined with anything ordinary can be advertised and spoken of openly, without any shame or age-rating.

   Yet if it is sexual or erotic by any means, it is shamefully ignored, hushed up, put behind X-es and age-rates.

   Now what does that tell us and outsiders about our friendly peaceloving non-agressive society................

   No need to worry about that.

   This seems like something you'd get for a gift, laugh
   a little about it, and then have it become a piece of
   clutter that gets in your way because it's really useless.

   Mitch is right. First the metal handle transfers heat to your hand, then the finger holes trap your fingers as you try to let go, then the hot coffee spills in your lap. WOW! Good design!

    Hmm...interesting.

    Today in Melbourne, a bloke just got 5 years for manslaughter for.......smashing a mug into his girlfriends head and leaving her to bleed to death.

    He got 5 because he had to go watch the footy and drink beer with his brother and he didn't have time to call an ambulance. Melbourne is very serious about footy.

    I think it looks more like a seal coming out of that coffee

    @Sue - yes this thing is worse than useless

    @Larfin - the abuse potential for a knuckle-duster with shards of broken glass on the end is enormous.

    Note in the picture that Mr. Punchy is about to get his hand scalded by the hot coffee in his weapon.
