I Survived Darwin Day

I was about to throw this line away on Twitter when I thought, “Hang on—isn’t this how people get rich?” Assuming that people get rich off Darwinists, biologists, atheists, skeptics, and/or T-shirt wearers. Anyway, it’s not like shirt-worthy ideas come along everyday, so here it is, in a range of sizes and dark colours. Buy one today, and let everyone know who was fittest on the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin’s birth.

Now updated with an improved, more T-shirty image.

The only question is, is it presumptuous to wear a T-shirt proclaiming oneself to be fittest? My mother used to take exception to my dad's "Perfect Body" T-shirt (which was a freebie advertising Guinness).

All in the spirit of glorious irony, K. And ironing.

I'll have to reconsider my use of 'Darwinist' after reading Steven Poole's latest Unspeak entry:

Right, that's the last spam comment I'm deleting for the time being. Comments off here for now, and for the foreseeable future, until I get time to upgrade this Movable Type install to something more spam-proof.

Just tweaked the joke and the shirts to reflect the more common name for the anniversary (rather than 'Darwin's Birthday').
