I want this shirt: Science Is A Verb Now Shirt

The Victoria Crowned – The Largest Pigeon in the World

Possibly the most beautiful pigeon too, the Victoria Crowned is not at all what you might expect when used to the hordes that haunt our towns and cities. Thanks to the Dodo becoming defunct, these turkey sized blue niceys are the largest pigeon on the planet. They have a rather odd secret too. Birds don’t produce milk to feed their young, right? Well, these do! Unfortunately, these birds seem to be dying out in the wild for several reasons. The facts that they 1. aren’t afraid of people and 2. taste good do not bode well for their survival.

Radical Militant Librarian tee

Just ran into a Norwegian librarian at Internet Librarian International in London wearing this killer tee-shirt, created in protest of the PATRIOT Act's provision to force librarians to reveal which books their patrons were checking out. The Latin translates as "We know what you read, and we're not saying."
