Carl Sagan said it best when he explained, “we are made of star stuff.” You can add a splash of color and remind yourself of the wonders of universe (and our place in it) while wearing this.
More Science Haikus
My twin is ancient
Tricked into staying at home
While I toured the stars
A quantum kitty
By any other measure
Would purr as strangely.
Creationist rant:
“My ancestors were not apes!”
Rave on, monkey-boy.
A stone falls to earth
Matter warps space around it
Albert described it
Droning on and on
Talking about the atom
What an awful Bohr.
