Just in case any of you are interested:  the other day I received a catalog in
the mail from an outfit called "Softwear Unlimited", purveyors of, in their
own modest estimation, "the world's largest collection of scientific-technical-
humorous t-shirts."  While some of the shirts were dreadfully corny, others
were worth a chuckle or two.  A few more or less random samples:

	-- Reunite Gondwanaland!
	-- Support Darwinian evolution: destroy a weakling today (with illo
	   of Charles himself swatting a fly)
	-- Mit der Dummheit kaempfen Goetter selbst vergebens. (Schiller)
	-- I have the {hardware,software} if you have the {software,hardware}.
	-- 186,000 miles per second is not only a good idea, it's the law.
	-- This sentense contains threee errors.
	-- The Doppler Effect (blue on the front, red on the back)
	-- International Stop Continental Drift Society (with official logo)
	-- Have you thanked a plant today?
	   6CO[2] + 6H[2]O => C[6]H[12]O[6] + 6O[2]
	-- NOTICE: Approved for storage of flammable solvents

In addition to the jokes, many of the shirts sport scientific or pseudo-
scientific illustrations which I can't reproduce here:  Pangaea, Mozart's
palindromic and invertible canon, a trilobite, cut-away diagram of the sun,
visual paradoxes, the classic algebraic proof that 2 == 1, various dinosaurs,
geological diagrams of Mt. St. Helens and the Grand Canyon, etc.

If any of this looks interesting to you, the catalog is free from:  Softwear
Unlimited, Rt. 2, Box 444, Twisp, WA 98856.  Their prices are slightly high,
but I thought the catalog was worth a thirteen cent stamp.

[Customary disclaimer: I am in no way connected with Softwear Unlimited.  I'm
just sharing information with other junk mail junkies.]
