1st place in Derby #226: Math in Nature, with 911 votes!

Anyone with eyes can tell this is no mere accident of nature. The way the trees align in an arc that widens by a factor of φ for every quarter turn it makes? They way the length of the sides of each square has the exact same relationship to the sides of the next smallest square as the total length of both squares’ sides has to the larger square’s sides? The odds of such mathematical constancy and aesthetic beauty simply emerging from happenstance are astronomical. To ask us to believe that this all resulted from a random collision of molecules is asking too much.

We are forced, therefore, to one inevitable conclusion: this t-shirt was created by an intelligent designer.

Wear this shirt: to your Geometry for Werewolves class.

Don’t wear this shirt: if the first thing you think of when you hear “golden ratio” is Ace of Base’s poorly received 2009 comeback album by the same name.

This shirt tells the world: “My proportions are divine.”

We call this color: the Black Spiral.
