Last Chance for Slashdot T-Shirt Contest 254
This is your last chance to enter Slashdot's T-Shirt Design Contest that we announced a few weeks ago. The contest officially ends tomorrow. We've had over 200 submissions, and some of them are pretty cool, but I don't think there yet is a Lock for the winner. So if you've got what it takes to design a T-Shirt (we're too cheap/lazy to do it ourselves!) you can win store credit at ThinkGeek plus free shirts with your winning design on them! Here are the Official Rules. Read the original story for submission details.

- This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.
While a Slashdot t-shirt isn't exactly real important in the grand scheme of things, I'd say it's important enough to take their own advice and not use the poll feature.Re: Slashdot Poll for the 3rd? (Score:5, Funny)

That's the reason that the rules say T-shirts should be "No more than 5 colors"; they're trying to minimize the risks by allowing fewer chemicals.

HOWTO: Attract Girls with TShirts (Score:3, Funny)
Now I know, babies suck BIG TIME....nothing like a whining baby to distract you while you're sitting at the computer reading /.. But girls needn't know that!! I would recommend a catchy phrase saying something like : "I love babies", or "I want to be a father" to attract females, who normally wouldn't step within 300 feet of you. Bold vertical stripes (purple or some such color), would also helpfully hide bulging beer bellies and give build a macho-escaped convict look.
