My whole life revolves around the Sun

Posted at 10:56 pm in Astronomy, Humor

I find myself agreeing with Lardfork.

Picture of me  wearing my I Love Heliocentrism t-shirt

Who doesn’t?

Buy your own! BTW I am not affiliated with Lardfork in any way. I just think heliocentrism rawks.

    I’m a barycentrist myself.

    Damn. I wish I had extra spending money right now. I want.

  3. Jackon 14 Nov 2007 at 11:45 pm

    Nerds called.. they want their clothes back.

  4. NathanForston 14 Nov 2007 at 11:45 pm

    I’m a geocentrist! ;)

  5. zebon 15 Nov 2007 at 12:00 am

    Fools! There is no center! I guess that makes me an a-centrist.

  6. gopheron 15 Nov 2007 at 12:09 am

    I’m more of an ego-centrist myself.

    BTW, how do we get off the BA’s god-awful-all-encompassing-over-hyphenated spam filter list? If it just blocks off large blocks of IPs, then is there an exception list?

    LOL :D

    My opinion of orbit and of climate are both heliocentric.

  9. Thomas Sieferton 15 Nov 2007 at 1:17 am

    Now now, tell the truth please. The Earth and Sun orbits around a common focal point, so technically…. Ah…. that will never look good on a T-shirt… :-)

  10. Tim Gon 15 Nov 2007 at 2:08 am

    I love it too.

    It is truly pathetic that the shirt is a weird type of inside joke.

    Hey, how’d you get a yellow one? That color must not be available anymore… :(

  12. Anatolyon 15 Nov 2007 at 6:22 am

    I don’t know… I kind of enjoy a flat earth being the center of the universe while resting upon an endless pillar of turtles.

    But isn’t the sun, and by extension the Earth, revolving around the black hole in the center of our galaxy? What would be the word for that - Holecentrist?

    A while ago (I think it was on his birthday), Wil Wheaton wrote a bit about how many miles he’s traveled through space in his thirty-some-odd-years on this rock orbiting the sun. It was pretty funny and amazing, and if I was a little more ambitious, I suppose I’d go dig around for the entry, but I’m a lazy man.

    Heliocentrism is a lie.

  16. Rav Winstonon 15 Nov 2007 at 8:19 am

    Well, I got the Schroedinger T-Shirt. Just cos I’m THAT sort of geek.

    …Besides, I couldn’t find the yellow Heliocentric shirt….

  17. The Centipedeon 15 Nov 2007 at 8:28 am

    I do like the Schrodinger t-shirt. Unfortunately, I have too many goofy shirts and not enough opportunity to wear them as is.

  18. Docon 15 Nov 2007 at 8:48 am

    But since all motion is relative, doesn’t that mean I’m the center of the universe?

  19. ydon 15 Nov 2007 at 8:59 am

    Tim G, Wow. Just wow. I have to hope the audience was all voting that way just to screw with him…

  20. Tedon 15 Nov 2007 at 9:17 am

    I’m egocentric.

  21. Chrison 15 Nov 2007 at 9:59 am

    “But since all motion is relative, doesn’t that mean I’m the center of the universe?”

    You’re not from my point of reference.

  22. Another Chrison 15 Nov 2007 at 11:28 am

    *Ahem*, Phil, is that a ladies shirt? That seems to be the only version available in “banana” on the order page.

    I’m glade you feel secure enough in your….testosteronehood to wear it. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

    I am reminded of Michael’s “unisex” suit on The Office. ;)

  23. Tim Gon 15 Nov 2007 at 12:31 pm

    Michelle said, “Heliocentrism is a lie.”

    Now that’s a good T-shirt idea as well.

  24. Tim Gon 15 Nov 2007 at 12:32 pm

    Come to think of it, “Heliocentrism is a lie.” would be a good thing
    to say to anyone wearing one of those yellow shirts.

  25. Chipon 15 Nov 2007 at 12:40 pm

    The thing about the Schrodinger shirt is if you throw it in the washing machine, it will disintegrate or come out clean, dry and folded. Maybe.

  26. Quiet_Desperationon 15 Nov 2007 at 1:40 pm

    Heliocentric is a good band name.

    I don’t think I can buy from a site that uses the word “wimmin” more than once. Seriously. Stop that. Or I’ll start using “menettes”.

    >”testosteronehood”

    Do they have testosterone hoodies?

  27. Freiddieon 15 Nov 2007 at 2:54 pm

    I’m also non-centrist. I don’t think “centers” exist.

  28. Dan@Lardforkon 15 Nov 2007 at 3:08 pm

    Hey! Thanks for the link.

    Yellow should be an option- if it isn’t, then Spreadshirt might have stopped offering it. I’ll double check that tonight.

    I’ll also toss a few “menettes” in there too.

  29. Sergeant Zimon 15 Nov 2007 at 3:57 pm

    Personally, I believe in the eventual heat-death of the universe - - - I’m a Kelvinist.

  30. Troyon 15 Nov 2007 at 11:40 pm

    Skeptical Inquirer published a periodic table that had criticisms to atomic theory similar to the ones creationists use on evolutionary theory. That would also make a good T-shirt.

  31. Volunteer Heliochromologiston 16 Nov 2007 at 6:40 am

    It would have to be yellow!! Does it come in white???

  32. Chipon 16 Nov 2007 at 11:02 am

    Based on gravitational lensing the cosmos is likely “ventriloquistcentric”. Data appears to be coming from point A but is actually coming from point B which is being affected by point C….

  33. christopher scotton 16 Nov 2007 at 11:13 am

    i am officially buying this for myself once christmas comes around.
