Hey all, and howdy..
Just thought I'd introduce myself after barging in on one of the topics
down there...
I'm Louis, I'm an Aussie, and I'm a Pratchett-aholic.
I've been lurking around here for a bit, finally decided to stop being
a spectator, the fact that it's three in the morning probably helps.
Best time to do things if you ask me.
What else? Errr... studying to be a teacher, frustrated artist/author
(not very good at either, doesn't stop me trying).
I think that's me in a nutshell.
~ Louis

I've got one that says "Innocent Bystander" in large, easy to read letters.

Reminds me of this, which was advertised as a way in which ordinary
people could be helpful to the American government.

In the Doctor Who novel "Seeing I", the Doctor's companion
wears a T-shirt that says "This shirt indicates that the
wearer is the sort of person who wears T-shirts with witty and
self-referential slogans on them". I think I want one of
those.

This sig indicates that the poster is the sort of person
who has a witty and self-referential sig.

Every nonzero finite dimensional inner product space has an orthonormal basis.
It makes sense, when you don't think about it.

In the book it's small type. Mine would probably be
XXXXXXXL...
(I have recently decided that my weight problem requires
drastic action. I'm going to remove the bathroom mirror.)

T-Shirt Hell <http://tshirthell.com/> (not for the easily offended) has
a few cool meta shirts:
"I (heart) transitive pictograph verbalizations":
<http://www.tshirthell.com/store/product.php?productid=647>
"The funniest thing about this shirt is that by the time you realize it
doesn't say anything it's too late for you to stop reading it you dumb
fuck": <http://www.tshirthell.com/store/product.php?productid=329>
They used to have one with "By the time you have read this, you've
already read it".

Oooh! Brilliant! I was wondering if this was a *nut house* or a *loony
bin*.

My brother has one that says: 'I see dumb people'. He wears it to pub
trivia.
Just some random info you don't need to know. ^__^
