If there was ever a Jedi hippie, this is the lightsaber he would use. Let's face it, CFLs last a lot longer than energy blades and they are much cheaper to operate. Plus, they help protect the galaxy. Think about it. Available for US$26. [Redbubble via Geekologie]
For those of you who've finally repressed Frucci's homoerotic slow-mo watergun facial montage, we'd like to offer a piece of apparel to commemorate the occasion (and bring back painful memories). By ReThink clothing, the Super Soaker T-shirt gives a metallic sheen to the classic water weapon, putting it on aesthetic par with something far more deadly. Like a Super Soaker 2000, or something.

Anyone reading Gizmodo already knows that science is cool. But just in case those around you are questioning the fact—crazy people who probably wear tinfoil hats and fear falling off the edge of the Earth when visiting Disney Word—you can pick up one of these fantastic Science! shirts. Starting at US$17.50, nothing says those biochem classes were worth it like an endless stream of babes passionately undulating in front of a porta-potty. [Science! via boingboing]
Guitarists may get all the chicks, but some of us loudly and proudly played less popular instruments and heck, we ought to get a chance to be a hero too! While I plead with Harmonix to include the noble Euphonium in their next music game, you other band geeks can show solidarity with your instrument of choice by wearing it on your shirt. Torsopants has a crazy collection of Guitar Hero parodies for almost every musical player out there. Banjo Hero? Kazoo Hero? Didgeridoo Hero? All yours for US$19 plus shipping.

Remember we showed you the awesome WeRobot T-shirt? Maker Chop Shop has just stumped-up with two new versions, peppered with pics of famous movie, game and TV icons. This time though, there's a suite of aliens on the AlienWe version and cars and bikes on the WeGo. Check out both T-shirts in detail below. Is that the original Batmobile?
Hey girls, can't decide whether or not to wear that midriff-bearing shirt out to the bar tonight? No worries, simply don this Venetian blind t-shirt and yank on the fully functional string when Joe Hotty walks by. Sure it's ridiculous, but it's also one-of-its-kind, and available only at art museums for the time being. Just don't be too peeved when some drunk mistakes your shirt for an actual window and pukes all over your chest. [Shikisai via I New Idea]
Some will realise that this t-shirt is really just a clever response to a Steve Rubel piece from last year. But recognising the allusion is hardly a prerequisite to enjoying Mr. Kool-Aid himself kicking the internet in the groin. Besides, it's the only thing we've got to tide us over until the Web 3.Oh Yeaahh!! shirt comes out. [Feed Store via technabob]

Poor incandescent bulbs. They had about 100+ years of dominance, but now it's the era of energy-efficient compact fluorescent. And this triumph of the CFL has been archived for future historians in the most permanent record known to our culture: a T-shirt. If you'd like to see this clever garment actually be produced, make sure to vote over at Threadless. [Threadless via superpunch]
If you enjoyed Kubrick's 2001 and Bushnell's 2600, then this shirt cannot be missed. And let me be the first to say, US$12 to watch a bunch of monkeys reach for a joystick is an absolute steal. Hell, US$12 to watch monkeys pretty much do anything is a decent value. [
