These mugs have been the annual Christmas gifts for special friends of the cFos Software GmbH.
In the beginning they were simple homages to well known pieces of pop culture (and printed on tee-shirts from 1996 to 1998); later they became increasingly riddled with more or less hidden "messages", e.g. the date, the cFos motto ("Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty") or the answer to life, the universe, and everything.
Interestingly enough, there is also a lot of unexplainable references to the number 2 - especially in regard to persons.
Detailed explanations of the motifs can be found here.
