Wearing a Belly Shirt: An FAQ
When I was in 8th grade, I got yelled at 9 times, by about 5 different teachers, for showing too much midriff (I kept a list). Belly shirts were kinda, sorta my thing, and I would have used a picture of ancient me for this post except that was B.I. (before Internet), so no known record has made it all the way to my studio apartment. Now that the belly shirt is back to the point that the girls on 90210 have all had coming out parties for their belly buttons, I am happy to present an FAQ.
Should I wear a belly shirt?
Yes.When should I wear a belly shirt?
Use your best judgement, but a good rule of thumb is to only wear one to an event where you are sure that the crowd will be made up of less than 5% dads. If you intentionally wear a belly shirt in front of a bunch of dads, you might as well complete the look with a Homewrecker tramp stamp.How can I wear a belly shirt in a way that is more chic than Lolita Britney or Daisy Duke?
The trick these days is to wear one with a high-up skirt or pair of shorts, so the view is a lot more widescreen than regular. You want the hem of your shirt to make a kind of frowny mouth that occasionally taps the top of your skirt/shorts. You want to give a sneak peek, rather than a map of your planking muscles.What are the dangers of wearing a belly shirt?
-Busybody girl sitting behind you will snobbily tell you she sees part of your undies peeking out of your pants.
-Teacher horrified of teen hormones will demand you put a sweatshirt on.
-Your boyfriend might be like, “Why you gotta show your belly to the world?”
-Looking skanky in non-beachy, non-youthy settings. -

Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphics May be Result of Time Travel
The topic of time travel has long been debated by physicists and science fiction writers. Some say it is impossible, others say we simply haven’t figured it out yet. But could the ancient Egyptians have already made it work thousands of years ago? According to Richard Parkinson, curator of Ancient Egyptian Pharaohnic Culture at the British Museum’s Department of Ancient Egypt and Sudan, the answer might be yes. “I recently found a girl crying on the floor of one of our exhibits,” says Parkinson. “I asked her what was wrong and she looked up at me and said, ‘look at the hieroglyphics, oh my god, that beetle is totally Karkat.’ And I looked at it and I just… I couldn’t believe it! I’ve spent over thirty years of my life studying these slabs, and I never noticed the Homestuck reference. That scarab beetle is totally supposed to be Karkat.”
17-year-old Alyssa Pearce was the first one to notice the similarities. “I was looking at the hieroglyphics and I saw that beetle and there is no way that’s not a Homestuck reference,” says Pearce. “Everything about it is just so Karkat! And there’s more, there’s a fish a couple feet down that represents Eridan, and a cat who is obviously Nepeta. Nepeta is in here a lot. I love Homestuck so much and it’s so incredible to see that they loved it even back then. It really is a timeless series, and it’s so amazing that they drew the characters.”
The presence of these Homestuck characters is indeed amazing, but the question remains: just how were the Egyptians able read Homestuck? Physicist Paul Davies may have the answer. “This is a bit of a controversial theory, but I believe time travel actually can be achieved by creating two wormholes on opposite sides of a neutron star, or ‘pulsar’. A lot of physicists argue that there is no evidence for the existence of wormholes, but, well… I think the hieroglyphics speak for themselves. I mean, really, that beetle is so totally Karkat, and how else could they have possibly read Homestuck over two thousand years ago?”
So does this mean will we be traveling through time in the near future? Perhaps, but perhaps not. According to Davies, there is no guarantee that the wormholes used by the Egyptians are still open, and we have no way of knowing their location. However, in light of this new discovery, astronomers are keeping their eyes peeled. With any luck, we’ll be discussing JohnxKarkat with the Egyptians in the near future — or in the past!
