Editorial Review Brought to You by The Unemployed Philosophers GuildThe origins of the Unemployed Philosophers Guild are shrouded in mystery. Some accounts trace the Guild's birth to Athens in the latter half of the 4th century BCE. Allegedly, several lesser philosophers grew weary of the endless Socratic dialogue endemic in their trade and turned to crafting household implements and playthings. (Hence the assertions that Socrates quaffed his hemlock poison from a Guild-designed chalice, though vigorous debate surrounds the question of whether it was a "disappearing" chalice.) Others argue that the UPG dates from the High Middle Ages, when the Philosophers Guild entered the world of commerce by selling bawdy pamphlets to pilgrims facing long lines for the restroom. Business boomed until 1211 when Pope Innocent III condemned the publications. Not surprisingly, this led to increased sales, even as half our membership was burned at the stake. More recently, revisionist historians have pinpointed the birth of the Guild to the time it was still cool to live in New York City's Lower East Side. Two brothers turned their inner creativity and love of paying rent towards fulfilling the people's needs for finger puppets, warm slippers, coffee cups, and cracking up at stuff.
Features 1) It's rarely mentioned, but Jesus had a great sense of humor. One reason the sermon on the mount went over so well is that he opened with a few real zingers. At the Last Supper, his impression of Pontius Pilate as a donkey made wine come out Bartholomew's nose. So we'd like to think Jesus would get a kick out of this What Would Jesus Wear Magnetic Dress Up Kit. It features a large magnet in the likeness of Jesus and a large assortment of magnetic clothing and accessories. 2) You can dress J.C. in anything from traditional garb (white robe, cross) to surfer dude (tie-dyed shirt and surfer shorts). There are also loads of props such as loaves, fishes, chalices, hats, and tools from his carpenter years. Yep, we're sure Jesus has a sense of humor. If not, we're in a LOT of trouble. 3) MIX AND MATCH - Includes dozens of pieces for nearly limitless options. Each set promises hours of enjoyment on your refrigerator. The magnets are also strong enough to hold up life's most important documents (Math tests, dentist appointments, overdue bills) in style. 4) MEASURES - Approximately 7.5" x 12". It has a total of two sheets, including all accessories. It's fun, funny, and educational. The magnet set makes a great gift. We have many other sets available, check them out. 5) FROM THE UNEMPLOYED PHILOSOPHERS GUILD - Don't worry. We are employed, just not as philosophers. We're a small, Brooklyn based company specializing in gifts for the sophisticated gift giver. For whatever you need, we have presents of mind.
