Cool read.. 

Though... I find it overly romanticized..

How did this cup land on this counter..

Oh in 1432 the cup was invented.. but not everyone back then could afford cups, so many stuck with using rolled up leaves or their hands..

The people with cups had a more sanitary solution to hydration and thus began the rise of cup-kingdoms, whereby the elite forced the lesser to produce cups for them further adding to their own wealth, while plunging the poor into despair

Until one evening, a lowly cup-carver, out of boredom created the handle to the cup..

He refused to share this invention with his keepers, ran away, and in but a fortnight revolutionized the cup industry..

He made his invention public so all the world could enjoy cups..



Point is.. you could write BS at length about anything because everything is theoretically interesting with enough detail..
