    It would be nice for the teapot to make a comeback, since it used to be used to benchmark 3d computer graphics

      The Utah Teapot.

      I always wondered why someone from Utah would model a teapot. After all, it’s not very American. But now that I’ve just done some digging…

      Martin Edward Newell is a British-born computer scientist specializing in computer graphics who is perhaps best known as the creator of the Utah teapot computer model.

      Everything is clear to me now lol
