THAT's the description I was looking for. Thank you. This is very sci-fi and I like it a lot.

Hooray for nematodes and gene sequencing! Can I make a bad science pun here? The HGP as a useless liberal PR move - that's just BLASTphemous...

congrats on snagging second

who votes for some of these shirts? both yesterday and today look like stuff some 14 year old should be wearing. in fact, there have only been a few decent things in the last few weeks that normal people would wear.

I was just wondering after looking at the latest shirts coming out.
Is Stevie Wonder and Helen Keller both on the same committee for picking the shirt designs?
Is it true that your best selling shirts are in braille?

just a couple of questions that have been bothering me.

I had to think about this one. I checked at midnight, and decided if it was still going after I got up this morning, I would think some more. Then I took the dogs out and thought some more. Anyway, I just bought one. 1988 was the year I graduated from high school, and I am a bit of a sci fi geek. Hmmm, this is my first Woot t-shirt that is NOT cutey patootie animals.
I actually like this design better than the Zelda one.
So, for tomorrow, do we think Duck Hunt or Fake Moon Landing?

a real big kahuna needs a t-shirt with really big gnomes.

We're as close as apples to apes, and science suffers.

By itself though, I love the shirt! I'll get one!

You really need to do some research about the outcomes of the HGP before spouting off your prevaricated opinions.

real big kahuna says you need to chill just a bit. i'm actually more concerned about that little travelocity guy running around...gnome is scary.

Personal foul, illegal use of the word prevaricated, 15 yard penalty...loss of down.

Awesome shirt, in for 1 making this my 4th woot shirt. Plus i'm from 1988, the same year as me, so I just have to get it.

Nice shirt, congrats to the designer.

It has the molecular structure of DNA on it so it fits with the HGP, although i suppose the double helix is more recognizable

Sold out. Nice design...

Nooo I finally decided to register and buy my first woot shirt and before I started registering there was some left and by the time I came back it was sold out! *tear*

This is pure gold... one of the best designs to come out of the derbies in two weeks. Well done!

You can purchase the shirt after the first day I believe, someone else will have to tell you how, but I'm pretty sure it can be done.

Awesome design got one!

thank-goodness I don't get much sleep. I would of missed this one!

timkerrick wrote:only if they haven't sold out.

No, the sell out is only for the first day. You can get it here. The link won't work right now, but it will tomorrow.

would have gotten one if the human was a female. . .awkward having a naked man's silhouette on your shirt

Umm... ok?

I'm guessing that your definition of the word must mean something other than to purposely mislead or deceive , or to avoid giving a clear and truthful account by being deliberately ambiguous or misleading.

I believe I used that word just fine as a description of the opinion posted.

I was actually born in 1988. Twenty years ago TODAY to be exact. Hah, what are the odds?

My birthday is tomorrow.....but 30 years ago. Oh, so very old.

i like the design but think it just looks too much like some naked dude surrounded by dabs of poop. anyway congrats on the win! im sure the kiddies will lap it up.

And here I was thinking it was the kiddies who were dissing it.

It's based on votes, not a committee. So had you voted for other designs to bump this one out of its place, perhaps we may not have to even have this discussion. It's up to the consumers of woot (who have purchased at least one item already) to vote upon the designs every week at http://shirt.woot.com/derby. And it is our job as consumers to help woot select the designs that are most worthy of being printed based on composition, color and theme not just what looks good on the screen. Sure being fun has a great deal to do with it, but you have to look at the whole picture. You have to decide carefully on that balance.

Really liked this shirt..especially on black..anyone know where else i could get one??

Yo,

Any of you who bought this and now have slight case of "buyers' regret" let me know; I'd be happy to take it off your hands. I'm a biomedical scientist -- this would make my day! Thanks.

These shirts will be available again after 12am tonight for resale from w00t at 15$ a pop, a link was posted about 5-10 posts above, but it is not hard to navigate to woot's gallery.

Here's how the shirt turned out, the dark brown shows up just fine!
