This is not a funny t-shirt. It’s not geeky, doesn’t have a connection to any video game or a witty message. It invites thought.
The Fossil Fuel t-shirt has a beautiful design that reflects the times. The world moves on and we are insignificant on a planetary scale; ancient animals and vegetation died to give us fuel, but who knows who we will be fueling in a billion years? Probably not the dinosaurs, but it would be a nice reversal.
Of course, this is just one interpretation. Everyone can find their own. Or just look at the pretty t-shirt.

The rendition of evolution that uses several ancestors of Homo Sapiens Sapiens lining up one after the other has been used so many times it’s instantly recognizable to most of us. But what if the poor modern man gets sick of it one day?
The answer is on the Evolution is Following Me t-shirt. Honestly, having a couple of cavemen walking after you day in and day out can be stressful. And our higher IQ lets us express our frustrations very eloquently, so I for one congratulate the guy. Why should he suffer for our sense of fashion?

“Look, it says boob!” *childish giggle*
Uh, no, it actually doesn’t. Notice that the letters look a bit funny? It’s not a special font; they’re actually music symbols. The “o” is actually a “flat” symbol, and the “b” is a “semibreve”, so the this ‘Boob’ Music t-shirt does not refer to a woman’s mammary glands.
Naturally, something like this is best appreciated among musicians who get it without further explanations. For the rest of the world, a girl wearing this would simply be stating the obvious. But the girl in question can just write them off as ignorants and go on proudly displaying her love of music. Screw the world, this is too funny to pass up.

Yesterday was Star Trek’s birthday; on September 8, 1966 the world first saw the Enterprise boldly go where no one had gone before.
I don’t even like Star Trek, really. After years of reading SF it’s too simplistic and clichéd. But even I can’t deny it had a huge influence and that I probably wouldn’t be enjoying Battlestar Galactica right now if it weren’t for Captain Kirk and his crew (though I like Picard better).
42 years later, the consumerist society can celebrate by buying a t-shirt. You need the Star Trek ‘Know Your Spock’ t-shirt, really. How else would you tell which Spock is good and which is evil? Your life could depend on it. Go watch some old episodes wearing this, you know you want to.

One of the easiest way of attracting attention among strangers is with clothing. But there’s a thin line between positive and negative attention, between “hey, that’s cool!” and “oh my God, that looks awful”, and it takes guts and style to pull off wacky combinations.
For someone with both, the Crime of Passion Scarf is a perfect piece. It looks unusual enough to get people staring, but still normal enough to avoid being labeled a weirdo. “Crime Scene. Do Not Cross.” is not a text anyone would expect written on a scarf, so heads will turn.
But the hardest part, matching the rest of the outfitm is the wearer’s task. Only recommended to girls/guys with a strong sense of their personal style.

I loved the Things That Glow t-shirt from the moment I saw it. Just look at those sketchy drawings! And the radioactive potato is so funny.
Then I figured out that it really glows in the dark and I was “oooooh”-ing on another level. It stopped being a nice t-shirt and moved into awesome land.
So, what does glow? Insects (not all of them, unless they come from Chernobyl), TV, skellingtons (nice pun there), rockets, radioactive potatos (yay! although you shouldn’t eat them), mushrooms (hmm…), the moon and much more. Click the link and see the t-shirt for them all, since the tiny picture in here doesn’t do it justice.

Geeky clothing is very easy to find. A quick google will result in dozens of websites offering the most varied t-shirts possible. But going beyond t-shirts is a bit more complicated, since the range of products gets narrower.
Despite this apparent issue, other pieces of interesting clothing surface from time to time. Take the Robots Thong and Robots Balconette set: robots, hearts and lightning bolts, geeky and girly at the same time, and definitely something else.
It might not tear the geek in your life from his computer screen, but since your underwear will feature something familiar to him it might attract his attention long enough to understand that real girl in front of him is better than some pixels.
Unless the pixels are the new Lara Croft.

Monty Python fan-girliness alert! I sometimes get too excited when it comes to my favorite things, and since I just saw Holy Grail (again) yesterday…
The Killer Bunny t-shirt is one of the rare ones that are funny both for people how know what it references and people who don’t. For the Python fans, the rabbit of Caerbannog is one of the best scenes in the movie, but even non-fans can appreciate the contrast between a cute fluffy white bunny and the blood and gore.
Unless you’ve got a Holy Hand Grenade, Sir Robin’s approach to anything is the best: Run away!
(Sing with me: Brave Sir Robin ran away… bravely ran away away…)

Can you say “brilliant”? The aliens are back, this time in the form of a super-cool t-shirt.
Anybody who’s played the popular Space Invaders game (which turns 30 this year!) can recognize the familiar shapes on the Ground Defenses t-shirt. The brave fighter in the cannon-turned-tank is marking his victories in 8-bit paint – the 80s computers version of notching a knife. And he’s good – he got a bunch of space invaders and two mystery ships.
(He’s also a very fast painter probably, since he’s got to run back to the cannon and kill more of them before he’s overpowered.)

You don’t want to know how much power lightsabers need. Really. They are a lighted swishing environmental disaster. Help the planet by supporting eco-friendly lightsabers.
The Greenpeace of the future will wear Jedi EcoSaber t-shirts, featuring a state of the art lightsaber hilt with an early 21st century low-energy bulb for the retro feel. So they’re not as impressive… or lethal… or colorful… who cares when Mother Nature is dying? If your home planet is plagued by energy problems don’t just run to the nearest base, try to do something back home! It’s the fault of those Jedi knights I tell you, wandering around the galaxy and waving their lightsticks around… (and that is not supposed to mean anything else.)
