I just want him to admit that “cannot” is all one word. – **gigi** , who after a few majors spills at work, had to resort to something like [this](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41Oz-4ZKl1L._SY355_.jpg) ---

You just CAN"T make an untippable glass. You are asking to make a 3 dimensional object that can’t be rotated on 2 of its axes. You CAN physically attach cup holders to places where you often put cups. Nail or glue a sleeve-like thing on the table where you would normally put a cup, and put the cup in the sleeve. Voila! Put the sleeves all over the house and amaze and confuse your friends. ---
