But wait! What do my eyes behold. A strange planetary alignment. Is it just artistic license or could it be a harbinger of 2012? Are the very discoverers of Pluto in on some grand doomsday conspiracy?
On closer inspection, something else seemed wrong too. But what could it be?

Not only is there no planetary alignment in 2012, but Pluto and Eris are inclined along very different axes.
Artistic license or conspiracy aside, I still love the shirt. It's a pitty they don't seem to be available online.
