So I found this on my newsfeed today...

BigHairyNordic · 2012-10-15T22:36:34+00:00

Cummingtonite is the mineral from which the Amosite asbestos fiber originates. A small window where my career applies to a post.

Take_Me_To_Elysium · 2012-10-15T21:37:08+00:00

I wondered why there were barely any comments here. Then I realized that I had scrolled down to page 19 when I clicked the link.

Time to do something else.

geoscientist1971 · 2012-10-15T23:30:41+00:00

If you've ever been out in the field with geology students the puns and double entendres are continuous. This summer in the Scottish Highlands in the rain wearing hard hats became.... 'Dripping helmets'

masterofrealism · 2012-10-15T22:09:35+00:00

Where can you buy this ?

andrewsmith1986 · 2012-10-15T20:59:41+00:00

Geologists know how to make the bedrock.

finnurtg · 2012-10-16T00:25:20+00:00

That's funny on two levels for me because (Mg,Fe)7Si8O22(OH)2 is exactly what I say when I climax.

RevSonic114 · 2012-10-16T00:35:22+00:00

relevant xkcd

kungfoojesus · 2012-10-16T00:09:51+00:00

Having to explain a nerdy joke does not go over well... even with nerdy girls.... You're awkward enough, don't buy this.

Callmemaybelol · 2012-10-16T01:29:09+00:00

Hey girl, are you full of beryllium, gold and titanium? Cause you are BeAuTiful!

JavaMoose · 2012-10-16T00:39:55+00:00

I, too, fucking love science.

iLoveSethMacfarlane · 2012-10-16T01:18:23+00:00

Yeah, no one is gonna understand the reference. You might as well tape the Wikipedia article to your shirt while you're at it.

ababkada · 2012-10-16T01:17:35+00:00

I go to college for geology - trust me, this line works on chicks from geology or may be I just got lucky

stevenfrijoles · 2012-10-15T23:56:20+00:00

Thanks for the arrow pointing to the joke.

cereal_killer7 · 2012-10-15T23:43:16+00:00

5 years ago i did a highschool project on that mineral, the shirts killed me, it was all i could find in google images haha

fruicyjuit · 2012-10-16T01:02:41+00:00

A rock named after a town named after a man.

Areeane · 2012-10-16T01:22:37+00:00

As a geology student I can say that so many students have this shirt in our department!

klyther · 2012-10-16T01:27:20+00:00

Upvote because I used to work with that guy at PF Chang's during college. He's now moved on to being a legit model. Haha. Nice to see what the early days of modelling have you doing...

zeshtorm · 2012-10-16T01:31:09+00:00

And it's great because honestly, if you're a girl, and you understand the shirt, you're gonna sleep with the guy.

generalbob1313 · 2012-10-16T01:42:58+00:00

Who else immediately went to the Wikipedia page to see if it checked out?

Jknows · 2012-10-16T06:29:18+00:00

You win that shirt when you reach Level 60 Virgin.

Scotch_Whiskey · 2012-10-16T01:13:58+00:00

AntiBaka · 2012-10-16T06:25:35+00:00

MgFe7Si8O22OH2 · 2012-10-16T06:29:40+00:00

dammit I missed my moment. and yes I'm proud of the action on this dormant account.

Neovalis · 2012-10-16T01:27:25+00:00

TIL there is a mineral called cummingtonite.

WoodPusher99 · 2012-10-15T23:21:08+00:00

And people wonder why there's so many Redittor virgin jokes.

hugoishurley95 · 2012-10-16T00:21:23+00:00

I need that shirt. It combies my love of nerd humor with my love of nerd humor

gormap18 · 2012-10-15T22:14:28+00:00

I actually want to buy this.

fizzlemnizzle · 2012-10-16T00:35:52+00:00

This is why geology rocks!

brian890 · 2012-10-16T01:01:49+00:00

Damnit Im going to a white part in 10 days. I wish I seen this earlier and had time to order.

Dabaser · 2012-10-16T01:09:32+00:00

Gaaahh · 2012-10-16T01:17:37+00:00

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_chemical_compounds_with_unusual_names. Arsole, fukalite, pikachurin, thebacon and vomitoxin don't want to miss the party.

riding_qwerty · 2012-10-16T01:32:24+00:00

What an extremely specific ironic shirt.

SaentFu · 2012-10-16T01:36:52+00:00

is that a threat or a promise?

RissyQuicks · 2012-10-16T01:48:25+00:00

you guys are perverts... it was first discovered in Cummington, Massachusetts

_hamburglar · 2012-10-16T01:59:45+00:00

You may want to start out with this shirt first... http://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http://img.printfection.com/1/111/10489057/2fNqi.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.kennyshirts.com/B4-alpha-Q-RU-over-16-QT-Pi/_p_5455113&h=380&w=380&sz=20&tbnid=2dFsQLl3QUVMoM:&tbnh=90&tbnw=90&zoom=1&usg=__3XDZ54JXn8cDjY8sctswadPyX5M=&docid=4F25OYmuawy6xM&sa=X&ei=Lr98UK2yPObG0AGguYG4DQ&ved=0CDcQ9QEwBA&dur=2338 "Before Alpha Q, R U over 16 Q T Pie?"

Bill_in_PA · 2012-10-16T03:14:19+00:00

Of all the bestos, I like asbestos.

SublimeSloth · 2012-10-16T01:17:15+00:00

The chances of me getting that joke outside of the internet before this would have coincided with the event of me getting struck by lightening on the tip of my penis.

wookiepanda · 2012-10-16T00:49:51+00:00

Trying too hard. Hard hehe.

hornyoctopus98 · 2012-10-15T23:33:40+00:00

What page did you find this treasure on?

I saw it on the Seems Legit page.

SteelPenguin71 · 2012-10-16T01:19:42+00:00

Woohoo geology humor! Huzzah my profession is funny!

Confliction · 2012-10-16T01:02:49+00:00

This caters to a very niche market.

SFXBTPD · 2012-10-16T01:03:39+00:00

WildCivil · 2012-10-16T01:07:03+00:00

I_Enjoy_Beer · 2012-10-16T01:22:24+00:00

Is there a mineral called "Finishingbeforeyouthenfartingandfallingsleepontopofyoutonite"?

AlienHook · 2012-10-16T01:22:47+00:00
