A friend of mine bought me the E8 t-shirt that Garrett Lisi has listed on his site. When I wear it, I feel that I can solve anything. lol

Anybody else got one?

Heh.

I was staying away from this, however, with garrett's offical "Heh" I guess it is OK to come out of the closet, my bosons, fermions and symmetries are still intact, regardless of the number of wash/dry cycles and general abuse I put mine through (:rolleyes:).

Rhody... o:)
 
Saweet, even Garret chimed in.

Yeah, but you didn't have to mispell his name, unless it was meant as a joke, hehe...

I just found in one of his posts of november 2010:
Also, I'm very happy to announce that the new E8 Theory Tshirts are now available, from a physics undergrad friend.
So he didn't personally made them.

Thanks
