Steampunk Skeleton T-Shirt

Steampunk: a movement that marries steam power with science fiction. Think Back to the Future III when Doc Brown blows into town in his flying locomotive time machine. A steampunk item appears rudimentary, like it was made from spare copper in Hephaestus’ workshop, but it’s entirely state-of-the-art. You know, kind of like the bio-mechanic thoracic region featured on the Steampunk Skeleton T-Shirt.

The geeks at ThinkGeek describe this shirt as a low-maintenance option for those wanting a mechanized rib cage and spinal column, and really, who doesn’t? I’d add that if you’re interested in going all the way with bone replacements, this is a good way to dip a toe in the water, as it were.

Honestly, though, who are we kidding? Science hasn’t come this far. When steam power was in its heyday (did steam power have a heyday?) people assumed we’d be flying around in jet packs by now. If you travel back in time and ask some guy in 1885 if he thinks people in 2010 will have steam powered bones and organs he’d probably say, “Time traveler?! What sort of witchcraft is this?!” but then later he’d say, “Yes.”
