Mmm-mmm, delicious geeky t-shirt designs, I can’t get enough of them. This one recently caught my eye over on ThinkGeek:

Here’s the description:

Sure, Darwin noticed the gradation in beak size of his “finches” in the Galápagos Islands, but he missed some big differences. For instance, we could have had significantly more 19th century science fiction if he’d noticed the Vampire Finch (Geospiza difficilis septentrionalis), which feeds on the blood of other birds. Our own team of ThinkGeek Junior Ornithological Knowledge Explorers has, consulting the excellent research conducted by Drs. Marvel and DeeCee, discovered six new variations also evolving from the Tiaris obscura:

a. super intelligence (for outsmarting Darwin)

b. super beak (for eating stale bread crusts tossed by tourists)

c. super eyes (for seeing through the garua)

d. super limbs (for outmaneuvering the Vampire Finch)

e. super speed (for visiting friends on the mainland)

f. super squawk (for broadcasting the latest volcanic activity)

I’m a sucker for a good geeky science t-shirt, which you might already know by now, so I’m rather excited by the latest offering from Hirsute History -

That’s right, a t-shirt with Charles Darwin’s facial hair on it! Now you can display that fine specimen of a beard proudly, to everyone you meet.
