How To Dunk A Biscuit
Len Fisher, author of How To Dunk A Doughnut came to the aid of the Mad Labs crew to try to help perfect dunking biscuits for the maximum in slightly soggy flavour-boosting without the dreaded plop of soaked-through cookie crumbs into the bottom of your cup of hot liquid.
What he determined was that the best dunk is a flat, one-sided dunk. Let only one flat side of your tasty treat touch the liquid, and you'll have the best soggy/solid dunk.
They didn't touch on how awkward that might be if you have less than a full cup, or small-mouthed cup, but they did seem like they might have won a few converts at the test in the café.
Plus, I just wanted to have an excuse to try out more doodling with Xara :)

Ritchie, I am your wife and I love you.
And… you are *SUCH* a nerd!
*shakes head and laughs*
Smooch! <3
I truly hope that you haven’t just invented the world’s first non-euclidian teacup, Ritchie.
Now I’m just being abused by everyone! *laugh* :)
I love you, too, Dena. Now prepare to be accosted!
Adam -> I often drink tea in hyperbolic 4-space. Trying to get a closed surface that the tea doesn’t fall out of the cup is a bit of a challenge, though. Degrees of freedom and liquid containment don’t mix.
Actually, figuring out the spline system in Xara is driving me a little nuts. I can’t quite get cusps happening, and mirroring/combining have troubles at the join points. I think I’ve got some ideas how to cheat past that for the next project, though :)
