Star Wars and Starbucks........

Just thought I'd get back into the typing groove with a teensy lil rant.........
Why is it that we can invent a microscope that can zoom in on something a millionth the size of one of my few remaining hair folicles with crystal clarity and a space craft that can be sent to the outer edges of our solar system so we can spy on all the Plutonians, but Starbucks and all her little brothers and sisters in the coffee bidness can't seem to come up with a to go cup with a lid that doesn't leak steaming hot brown liquid on me! I'm convinced it is a conspiracy designed to make us all buy their reusable go cups.

Speaking of microscopes. I was watching something about ancient chinese inventions. They were making steel from cast iron. Have you ever thought about learning how to do a lot of things. Like make steel. Brew beer. Irrigate. I know this sounds stupid but i'm kina serious. Is there somewhere you know of on the net where i could get the neccessary steps on say, how to make steel, irrigate, brew beer, etc. I tried to find the steel thing and it just did not work out to good. No i dont want to make steel so much as i want to know how, what i would need, how i could get what i need. I know it's weird but humor me if you have any knowledge.
thanks,
danny

Isn't the internet great?

Oh, and Dennis...yes, coffee lids, one of the great technology thwarters of our time. Along with built-in cupholders that are only 2 inches high...precisely the correct height to induce rotation under normal acceleration or braking forces.
