  • I’m not from US.

    Wow interesting! But did you get the shirt in the US, or was that somewhere else too?

    I find it really fascinating that this shirt clearly meant a lot to someone, so they kept it all these years, but then still decided to get rid of it, yet without just thrashing it, AND then even in a different country/continent!

    (I hope they didn’t just forget it in a hotel, which then decided to make a few bucks…)


  • The first date on the back is Halloween, so that’s clearly where the inspiration for the design comes from.

    I don’t think you’ll find anything directly on the internet. The most promising approach would probably be to find a wedding registry in Buffalo NY and then look for October 31st 2009.

    Boston and maybe even Essex could have been for visiting relatives/friends (or they initially met each other in Essex and wanted to re-visit that place too?); Qatar might just have been a layover for flying to the Maldives where the honeymoon finally took place. (Maybe November 28th was the last day and they decided to print that in order to frame the whole journey with start and end dates.)

    I found the same skeleton on this T-Shirt: KKUP Radio 91.5 FM The Grateful Dead Marathon 2013, I can’t find the original artist, it could be that this was a stock image that was readily available for T-shirt printing.












  • Additionally stop looking at screens some time before bed, this influences your sleep negatively. Also avoid alcohol.

    Most smart watches track your sleeping quality and some allow you to (manually) log such external interferences for you to reflect what might cause the most distress for your sleep.

    For example I had the Amazfit GTS 2 mini, which is quite cheap and the app has this feature.






    • The speed of light is pretty slow at that scale, it would take thousands of years until the mouth is closed.

    • The speed of sound (in air?) is much much slower than the speed of light. See above.

    • How fast? I guess die, because that would cause a whole lot of other problems.

    • Yeah, the gravity would pull the galaxy to it, but it would also take quite some time (one normal galactic year is about 225 million earth years, we wouldn’t instantly be pulled with an immense acceleration, we would probably just continue our orbit in a slightly different path or reverse, which would have it’s effects but not immediate in our scale, right?)
