I really wish I could get one of those shirts but I’m too tall and they don’t come in my size.

Hey, does this ‘Lady Macbeth’ apply to WOMEN’s size?

I just won a free Tshirt (am just waiting for the ‘official’ email asking me to make a selection and email my choice to Mangesh/Dana) and would like to receive that one.

If there’s any left in WOMANS SMALL , pls let me know so I cand send the info

Hannah is kinda right, but only if “a” and “b” are the same, then 2a^2 or 2b^2 is okay. What are those called, isocolese? I can’t spell… don’t want to google.

I think she meant it as a pun, as b^2 is a pun of “be square,” as in “it’s hip to be square”), so to continue the pun, she’s suggesting the “to” to be “2″ instead.

Hannah – 2b^2 is not part of the pythagorean theorem, but b^2 is. (a^2 + b^2 = c^2)

Ok, so being the huge nerd I am, I have to say that my favorites are the Pythagoras Math Team shirt, and the Kinetic Energy shirt (I own the latter already…) but I have to say, shouldn’t the Pythagoras shirt read “Pythagoras Math Team it’s hip 2b^2″? Oh, and also, the shirt reminds me of a particular song by Hewie Lewis and the News….
