Appleyard would lay the woes of the 20th century at Stephen Hawking's wheelchair. Commenting on Hawking's oft-expressed hope that physicists may soon construct a theory that would unite all the forces of nature into one mathematical equation suitable for a T shirt, a so-called theory of everything, he declaims alarmingly that it could be used to predict that "a particular snowflake would fall on a particular blade of grass or that you would be reading this now." Never mind that such deterministic ambitions died long ago with the discovery of quantum uncertainty. Faced with that prospect...
...That's quite an agenda," she quipped. Ireland said she spotted one of her favorite definitions on the back of a T-shirt at the University of Miami: "Feminism is the radical notion that women are people...
...could corner the prodigious T-shirt market by printing up some witty combination of the Harvard crest and skeletons, roses, and/or Uncle Jerry.

This is intended to signify dedication, because if you keep practicing three pointers long after the heat has been turned off, you need a T shirt. But the pros don't dress this way, do they? Also lose the dreary possession arrow and reinstate the jump after a held ball. Little squirts love to try to outjump the big droids, and audiences love to see them do it. Right. And, coach, you up there...
