Intended to be carried prominently when answering the door to proselytising religious types or wavering agnostics.
Available in mulitple packs.
Calculations on the backs of all sorts of things.

Richard Dawkins

Wikipedia entry on him. [Cedar Park, Jul 29 2010]
Straight from the horse's er, mouth.

I agree entirely with his views on organized religion. Just not on God. I think he wouldn't care one whit what my opinion is so he'll probably forgive my not caring for his. [2 fries shy of a happy meal, Aug 17 2010]

An Invisible Flying Spaghetti Monster in orbit between Mars and the Asteroid belt. Oh yea? Disprove it! [Wily Peyote, Aug 17 2010]
This guy gets my vote for shroud-ism.

Is there also available a large fish costume? |
|
| |
Yes, but that's in a different brochure. |
|
| |
We'll send it you a copy in a plain brown envelope. |
|
| |
I'll take the plain brown envelope costume. I could look out through the address window, and like-minded people could do ad-hoc calculations on my back. |
|
| |
Actually, what would be really useful is if someone would
bind envelope-backs into some sort of cover, as a notepad
for doing those important calculations. |
|
| |
I was thinking this morning about a small touch-screen device running a spreadsheet program, with suitably scribbly fonts, made to look as much as possible like the back of an envelope... or possibly a paper napkin. They'd probably still be too thick and rigid to work, though, even as good jokes. |

+ is there one with a hood? |

Why would you get wavering agnostics knocking at your door? The best thing about wavering agnostisism is its distinct lack of a functioning door-to-door proselytisation network - that is in fact, the precise reason I signed up! |
|
| |
It's those bloody atheists coming round, knocking on my door, banging on about the value of rationality and extolling me to renounce any memes based on Darwinistically perpetuated sets of heuristic strategems - and eschew any thoughts not thoroughly backed up either by rigorous logic or direct personal experience - cheeky b*stards! |
|
| |
[pertinax] love the iVelope idea - similarly extendable to iFags - where a crumpled pack of 20 cigarettes is the chosen notary medium. |
|
| |
//Why would you get wavering agnostics knocking at your door?// |
|
| |
Because they find your doorbell scary? |
|
| |
That may well be the case - I have my minions adorn the battlements with the heads of previous un-solicited callers. |
|
| |
But wouldn't this require the Great One to be dead? |
|
| |
// crumpled pack of 20 cigarettes is the chosen notary medium. // |
|
| |
Beermats. Peeled beermats. And paper napkins, but beermats are essential. |
|
| |
// my minions adorn the battlements with the heads of previous un-solicited callers // |
|
| |
"That's the way to do it ! |
|
| |
[pertinax] //people could do ad-hoc calculations on my

Like the wife of John C. Stevens (1749-1838), who
immortalized herself with the line "Yes, Mr. Stevens, the
figure of a fool." <link> |

Would that be the young, dynamic Hogan's Heroes Richard Dawson or the corny, aging Family Feud Richard Dawson? |
|
| |
Dawkins, not Dawson, [Grogster]. <link> |
|
| |
pay attention young [grogster]! |

Double Helix DNA "Shroud" Tea Towel

Oh, goody! I had utterly failed to see the point... (there WAS a point, right?) |
|
| |
Yes, there is a point, but there's no God. |
|
| |
Which is the point. (Sort of). |
|
| |
Isn't there a risk that this idea will lead people to believe that Richard Dawkins was a real person? |
|
| |
//Yes, there is a point, but there's no God.// |
|
| |
Got yourself some proof of that there do you spanky? |
|
| |
// //iFags// You'd want to rebrand that... this side of the pond//
iPuffs ? |
|
| |
I love this idea! But maybe not an image on the shroud of an agnostic/sometime deist - (depending on which lecture you're reading) - but the REAL GOD <link> |
|
| |
It is an ear-peice and microphone I think. |
