"The Universe Wants to Kill You"
Some JREF forumites wanted a t-shirt with a fun Neil deGrasse Tyson quote to wear to The Amaz!ng Meeting 6 in June (you’re going, right??), so I’ve added them to the Skepchick store! They’re basic tees for men and women (+ one fitted women’s shirt) with no profit added on. If you were looking for a way to start a conversation with one of the coolest scientists of our time, I think this should just about do it.
could someone explain the don't high-hat the monkey t-shirt?
Dude, just don't high-hat the monkey.
Yeah, he HATES being high-hatted. And you DON'T want to make the monkey angry. Believe me.
Oh crap … I bet somebody high-hatted the monkey, and THAT'S why the universe wants to kill us.
Well, if the Universe is trying to kill me, I'm moving someplace else!
(*gasp!* I hope I don't have to take out a restraining order against the Cosmos!)
For the love of monkeys, people, you could at least give Samuel the explanatory link!
Oh gosh, can you DO that? That would be so cool. My personal life is screwed up badly enough right now that I really can't think of anything smaller than cosmic powers to blame, and if the cosmos had to stay 100 feet away … dang! Way cool.
Or somebody high-hatted the universe, and now the monkey wants to ki—
We KNOW who high-hatted the universe. It's all those 13-year-old boys wanking off and killing angels.
Crap. The monkey killed our token male.
Nope, but that son of a bitch high-hatted me.
Why not? Apparently you can sue god…
If I did, do you think he'll appear in court?
Subpoena one of his representatives.
That would have to be a lot of subpoenas as they all claim to speak for him.
And most of them disagree with each other, which would be wildly entertaining in a court of law. Let's do it!
Side note about the T-shirt. I have a friend who's a mostly-retired punk drummer, and he has been a skeptic in just about every possible way since before he'd ever heard the term. I thought he'd get a kick out of the slogan on the shirt.
His response: "I think that shirt would be much better with 'I'M THE UNIVERSE' on the back of it."
Always remember
I want a restraining order against god.
I think that would be awesome.
Sorry folks, god ain't in this church, 'cause I am.
No atheists in foxholes? Well, no god either.
So much potential …
