About Hank Campbell

A wise man once said Darwin had the greatest idea anyone ever had. Others may prefer Newton or Archimedes.

Probably no one ever said a website was the greatest idea anyone ever had, but a website... Full Bio

We have an outstanding graphic design intern who just started so we're going to have T-shirts made for each category rather than just the generic one with the logo.   If you have ideas for cool science-related and/or funny t-shirts that just need a capable hand to bring them to life, make a comment and we can see about making some magic happen.   

Then we can send writers here any kind they want.   We are all about customization.

Edit:

Here are a few:

Math ...
scientific blogging don't drink and derive

Biology ...

Lysis to Kill

Space ...
scientific blogging space is an hour away by car straight up
Physics ...

Maxwell's Equations

and ...

HEP cats physics

... and chemistry and lots more obviously.   Check them all out.

I'm not advocating copying these designs, of course, but I like the concept of a scientific idea presented in a hilarious way. To wit: physics or astronomy; culture; biology; chemistry 1 or 2 or 3; computer science; genetics; animals; home page 1 or 2.

"Biologists stop for UAA"? That would get you beaten up on the subway. Hell, that would get you beaten up at a science conference!
The DNA helicase one is awesome though.

Not gonna lie, I ordered the DNA helicase one for my geneticist friend.

We're smarter and funnier than all those people.    

For biology, we have ... 

Lysis To Kill (James Bond silhouette, or just Mike in that cool shirt he is sporting in his avatar)
Darwin: Ruining Your Culture Since 1859
Viva La Evolucion (a monkey as Che, of course)

We need cool ideas for physics and space too.

How about:

Physics: where you can blow and suck at the same time.

Georg von Hippel already schooled one person today - I don't want him coming after me.

Ouch. I will never comment on lattice QCD for fear of public humiliation.

How about:

Be Trendy - Do Statistics.

Anisogamy made me the man I am today.

That's pretty good!   And by not using heterogamy we can appeal to biological diversity.  :)

"by not using heterogamy"
Do you mean 'parthenogenetic/sexual alternation' or 'marriage'? Which would be more fun?
(Darn these homophones) :)

Physics:

The longer you stay in a cross section, the deader you are. Drive fast!
~ the physicist ~

Or something like that. I practice it by the way. :-) I trust my physics!

Oh, maybe this is better: Trust your physics. Drive fast.

and then an image of a cross section (probability of particles colliding) The younger students can surely find a good illustration somewhere? :-)

Other than that - pardon my English. I'm Norwegian - with a bad memory. :-)
 I love, however, this particular 'law' of physics and make that joke CONSTANTLY.

Nice idea, Bente! Do you drive a Proton? Arguing from the general to the particular, I notice that at 0kph, bugs settle on my windscreen. At 1kph they tend to fly away. At 2kph, I notice that they cannot land because of the slipstream.
These observations parallel the fact that asteroids sometimes hit earth, but comets rarely do. Comets are faster than meteors. By inference, then the faster I drive, the less chance I have of hitting anything.

[/end thread hijack] - sorry Hank! :)

I've been collecting T-Shirt ideas for the Earth Sciences for a while. Most are bad but I'll share...
 
Geologists make the Bedrock!
All my faults are normal.
What's the difference between a paleontogist and large pizza. A large pizza feeds a family of 4....
My rocks are gneiss, don't take 'em for granite.
How many biologists (insert victim here) does it take to change a lightbulb? Just one, but hundreds will apply.

And just because, "Mother Nature is a bit of a bitch."

I officially nominate you to be in charge of earth sciences t-shirt slogans - these are awesome!!

Metamorphic geologists know good cleavage when they see it.

A neutron walks into a bar...

Neutron: How much for a beer?
Bartender: For you, no charge.

Okay, I promise to stop now.  Bad puns rush through my brain.

That's one of the few jokes I can remember, in addition to the electron/positive joke referenced by Gerhard below. I love jokes but have zero ability to remember them, except nerdy science ones. I have some great ones about various chemical elements (e.g. what do you do with elements when they die? Barium.) and other assorted chemical, biological and mathematical puns, but nothing that I could tell to normal people.

That's as bad as the atom saying:

"I lost an electron!" ... "I'm positive"
