cool

Re: The Beauty of Science

And no to all you out there, this is not a tribute to Gays, Lesbians, or Pink Floyd. As it says it is a tribute to the beauty of science. Great thanks to Newton for his work with prisms. Was originally trying to imitate the Loose Talk Cost Lives or Loose Lips Sink Ships, not sure if you can tell that or not.

Re: Truncated Icosahedrons Are Swell!

I think buckminsterfullerene and geodesic domes are cool. If we want to win the war against ignorance, we have to make our kids think so too! And I'm also taking a shot at the poor magnet toys which are definitely NOT for kids.

I want this shirt!

IMHO, the reference to how science is amazing is more implicit than explicit, but I've always found evolution to be the epitome of how amazing science is: serendipity, combined with deductive reasoning and close examination of evidence, resulted in an unexpected discovery that changed the way many look at the very meaning of life. That's pretty cool!

Aside from Ramy's shirt, I disagree (in a nuanced way) that science doesn't require belief. For example, I've seen only a fraction of the fossil record with my own eyes, but I believe that the rest exists. I've not seen the evidence for the Higgs boson, but I believe that it exists. I've definitely not seen the Krebs cycle in action with my own eyes. If someone walks into my office and is capable of picture matching and object identification, but produces agrammatical speech, I might diagnose damage to Broca's area because I believe that the posterior inferior frontal gyrus contains a portion of brain critical for expressive language. (To be fair, someone else can verify this based on MRI, but even then, I'm reliant on a belief in imaging and the science behind neuroradiology, because I definitely can't read MRIs!)

Re: Birds Of Prey

This design requires a comment alluding to xkcd.

Thanks to j5 for helping me fine tune this.

Re: The Gray Menace

Nice!

Re: Rad M;C.

This is wild! But what does it mean?

I like it Rads, But is it not "celebrity likenesses" ?

Re: Poetry in Motion

I'll tell you what's blinding me. Keep Calm slogan shirts with just a tiny minor graphic element.

ARGH my eyes, it BURNS!

Re: Human Testing

This ticks all the boxes and then some.

Re: The Gray Menace

Cool stuff with a really strong visual element.

Aw, but the original poster has only one simple graphic element. It's ok, I just threw this together last night in between teaching and back to school night. I'm working on other designs for this week! So many ideas!!! :D

Re: Curiosity

It also kills cats... for science!

Re: GM Uh-Oh

Whoops! I just noticed that in my rush to get the comp file ready, some things got messed up. I'm sure it bugs no one but me, but here's what it really looks like:

Yeah, same here. It's a bit confusing.

Re: Become a scientist

junk. as a scientist, this is all too true.

Maybe no one else sees it? Maybe it's a really popular pun phrase and drawing/lettering style?

They're both based on a famous poster so it makes sense that they look similar to it (and each other):

Re: GM Uh-Oh

Wow the sheer genius of where the slogan ended up is frightening me a bit!

Re: Human Testing

Beautiful illustration!

Re: Science, you gonna love it!

Science... everything is possible!
Maybe in the future all of this awesome stuff could happen.

Re: Birds Of Prey

It would have been a huge for a chicken. But pretty normal sized for a turkey.

Re: Artificial reEVOLUTION

Why wait for the seeds of change to slowly grow... EVOLVE NOW!!!

We have come to a point where evolution is dead... unneeded... unwanted...

Don't wait for nature to take its own course... PLOT YOUR OWN!!!

Re: It is Rocket Science!

Hearty thumbs up. Reminds me of WSMR.

Re: GM Uh-Oh

Such a happy tunato!

Re: Science is the way Join Today

Come Help us achieve the technology to create life, build robots, and bring the dead back too life.

Re: Birds Of Prey

All types of fantastic! Well done, O!

To me, that's the crux of the joke with this entry. First of all, just as a semantic point, belief doesn't necessarily imply blind faith. It just means that you trust in the truth of something, which can be accomplished by reviewing convincing evidence.

But on to more interesting thoughts: my idea in creating this design is that there is so much that people are asked to believe WITHOUT evidence, and that's what sets science apart. Ultimately, there have been discoveries that were later refuted, but the very basic principles of scientific investigation involve seeing (in the most general sense) before believing. To me, that really falls in stark opposition to the way that propaganda works, which is preying on people's emotions rather than their sensibilities. I thought this design highlighted that by taking a popularized type of slogan and putting it in a context that gives it entirely different meaning that really highlights what is so great about science.

(And for the record, there are still plenty of people who don't believe in evolution)

Jughead?

Re: Our Collision with Tomorrow

This is cool! What shirt color is it though? It looks like heather gray, which isn't an option. Resubmit it on silver or slate to avoid rejection.
