Tim Horton's coffee cups? Heh that'll work, i average two cups per day (actually i prefer McD's coffee). Do you plant the cup? Cut it on 4 sides?

Diligently follow the path of two swords as one. Percieve that which the eye cannot see. Seek the truth in all things. Do not engage in useless activity.
