I don't totally understand it but here is the description
Science: We finally figured out that you could separate fact from superstition by a completely radical method: observation. You can try things, measure them, and see how they work! Bitches.
The graph is data from the COBE mission, which looked at the background microwave glow of the universe and found that it fit perfectly with the idea that the universe used to be really hot everywhere. This strongly reinforced the Big Bang theory and was one of the most dramatic examples of an experiment agreeing with a theory in history -- the data points fit perfectly, with error bars too small to draw on the graph. It's one of the most triumphant scientific results in history.
... and the two men that predicted and observed the blackbody nature and anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background radiation were awarded the 2006 nobel prize in physics! go science!

While it is great to use one of the most successful theory/observation correlations on a shirt. I am not thrilled to have the word "Bitches" on the departments T-shirt. The other complaint I have is that it is not directly geologic (while yes it could be argue that it does apply on the level of "If it had not happened we would not have much to study.") and it would be nice to have some instant recognition of geology and geological engineering.
I have found the Web site. Yeah! More comments later. Cheers, Joseph
