Self-Referential Haikus and Nerdy Math Shirts
August 26, 2011 9 Comments
I don’t always buy t-shirts. But when I do, I tend to make them really nerdy ones. ThinkGeek is a good source, but Snorg Tees might be my new favorite.
Self-reference, like this sentence, is hilarious.
But you can never have just one haiku. When they get out in public, they have a tendency to spawn as people are inspired to create their own. Here was my contribution to the arts:
Haiku are easy
but the ones I write devolve
into self-reference.
To which a friend responded,
Reference. Syllables?
If reference is two, I’m good.
Three? Then I am screwed.
If self-reference isn’t your cup of tea, SnorgTees also has a couple great math shirts:
That’s right: I keep it real. After I posted the picture to Facebook, a cousin commented:
It might be real…but it’s not natural.
and my dad chimed in with the brilliant:
Aren’t you the negative one.
I love my family and friends.
Love this post! Very nice pics…
your sense of humour
leaves me breathless in wonder
this is a tanka, i think
now you tell me, what you think!
The shirts are just a tad headdesk, but, like, in a good way.
You family is so awesome and brilliant! 😀
hahahaha this is great!
HahahahahaI see where you get your love for nerdy math jokes!
Those shirts are pretty fantastic.

My favorite Math shirt was one that said (and forgive me, I don’t have special keys to write it out properly) “integral from 13 to 10 of 2xdx?”
I got a huge kick out of that.
People love haiku
I do, and I don’t know why
It doesn’t matter
