I'm also going to have to go with my PI mug. Even after dropping it and breaking off the handles [no replacements available, sadly :(], I still use it pretty much exclusively...
As a window into quantum gravity, a black hole is second only to the Big Bang, I suppose...
Shortly after the beginning, vacuum energy was cruel enough to put spacetime on the Rack, stretching it beyond recognition. But near the end, gravitational energy is beyond cruel to toss space and time into a taffy machine, turning it into a gooey mess!
So to pick your window into quantum gravity is to pick your torture into it, I'm afraid...
Your mug seems somewhat similar to the KITP mugs that, when filled with hot water, reveal a map of the CMB. My office-mate currently has one sitting on his desk, and I'm pretty sure David Gross also uses one.

One mug. Looks like Gravity Probe B has proven something now about frame dragging. But no announcement yet what that is.

Is that your backboard Bee? What's it all about?
