Well. At least there's one Black man who won't get harassed by campus police if he wanders around campus...

I think we need a post of all the awesome stuff the secret service has done so far. Or maybe not, they might hunt us down.

OMGZ TEH SECRET SERVICE IS READING THIS CMMNT.

A wiser man explains the shirt for us

HERE

Or here:

Hello, It's the Navier-Stokes equation. "Equations" actually as there are 3 equations when you apply them to a problem in 3-D (x, y, and z coordinates for example).

So right, the equation describes the flow of fluids. Actually the Navier-Stokes equation is the 2nd line on the T-shirt. The first line is the mass continuitiy equation or condition that complements the N-S equation.

By complement I mean that the since the N-S equation applies to continuous mass distributions, you have to have a statement that what you're applying the equation to is continuous, i.e. it's not split up into disconnected chunks.

So if a hypothetical figure of biblical importance would have caused an air gap in a sea so that his coleagues could walk across, then the mathematical relation governing the flow of the water away from the air gap in the middle and onto two lobes on the sides, would be governed by the Navier-Stokes equation.

BTW, the N-S equation is so interesting that it is one of the 10 "Millenium Math Problems" which will earn US$1x10^6 to whomever solves the thing. :)

He's totally not doing right by us w/r/t health care reform BUT I love that he's going to places like MIT and allotting money for school and research and whatnot. I love that science/Moses shirt. lol I bet a right winger would find it ~*blasphemous~*

I go to MIT and I'm so crazy jealous of the 200 kids who got to hear his speech in person. I had to watch it on TV :(

I felt the same way back in September 2008 when he and McCain came to Columbia to give a speech about public service. I put in for a ticket, as did the majority of the other 20,000 students here. The lucky ones got to sit in the auditorium and here the forum in person. The rest of us sat on the lawn and on the steps of Low Library and watched it on the JumboTron. There was so much Columbia blue out there that day, lol! The website occasionally features a picture of the gathering on the front page because a lot of people were wearing paraphernalia and had pom pons and such.

No, this is not a presidential necktie.
Even I wouldn't wear a tie like this. Too pink.
Where was Katie Johnson? Why didn't she stop the President?
Watch her belated reaction to the tie disaster.
