Coffee Mugs and Crockery

Just in passing --

In the comments for this entry, Elaine at Random Jottings had somewhat lightly mocked her own habit of photographing various coffee/tea mugs in her cupboard at home and telling readers about the provenance of such crockery. In the same comments section, I noted that I hadn't thought it in the least boring and indeed, found another set of bloggers over at ScienceBlogs.com who were doing the same thing (see Dave's entry at The World's Fair). Indeed, Dave even asks his readers to complete a set of questions about their mug of choice.

So, really, Elaine has started a trend...
