It's still a pretty amazing concept that we have mapped the human genome. Obviously, that's just scratching the surface - or some other more appropriate metaphor - but the data is out there, heck in a way it's sort of open-source, Creative Commons licensed. Sort of. Okay, maybe not.
But if you really appreciate the geek-factor of genetics, what better way to show it that by wearing the human genome on a t-shirt?
It's cool, but it's only chromosome 1? Does that mean I can expect 22 more shirts in the future (sorry, only 21 more for the ladies)? Or maybe we spread them out over a whole wardrobe: chromosome 7 socks; chromosome 14 slacks; X-chromosome boxers? Of course, perhaps we should take this idea further. What other cool science should we print on items of clothing? I'm already voting for Avagadro's number on a (Tom Baker long) scarf. Anyone else?
