Geek Apparel of the Week: Blaster, Middle Earth Maths and Combustible Lemons
I have three more great nerd shirts, and none of them are from the shirt-a-day sites. Go figure.

?? A strikingly cool schematic of an item that is reportedly better to have at your side than hokey religions and/or ancient weapons. It’s $20 at 604 Republic.

?? Honestly, I would like this shirt better if it was just the art and not the text, but it’s still pretty fun — the greater-than sign makes me giggle. It’s $22 at RedBubble.

?? If you’ve played Portal 2, I don’t need to explain anything about this shirt. If you haven’t played Portal 2, go play it, then come back, because you’ll probably want this shirt afterwards. It’s $18 at SharkRobot. Thanks to SlyDante for the tip.
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
