W3C Store

Last november, I sent a long email to the Advisory Board of the W3C about the structure and finances of the Consortium. One short paragraph of that long email was the following one:
" Remember, it's a world of geeks. That might sound weird, but I recommend the Consortium starts a complete product line of gear, clothes, and geeky objects. To be even clearer, the famous "<body> </body>" t-shirt should be sold in a W3C online store and have a W3C logo on the right sleeve. That could drive a lot of income."
And this morning, I learned from Karl Dubost that the W3C is setting up such an online store. Read here, here and here. I just wanted to tell one thing to my W3C friends : it will work only if the items sold in that store are really cool. Funny. Geeky. Nice colors and shapes. Suggestions :
- of course the very famous "<body> </body>", "<head/>" and "geek"
- "Content-Type: human/geek"
- "More than ten years of W3C Membership and still alive"
- "Browser war is just another day at the office"
- "I'm interoperable"
- "Cool URLs don't change"
- "body { background: gray; }" for a gray t-shirt
- best-sellers W3C mug and W3C french beret
- W3C logo on the front, "Web standards matter" on the back
Examples of t-shirts that almost nobody understands or recognizes...

Very good suggestions, Glazou!
Excellent!
background-color: grey; unless you have some reason for setting all the other background properties to default values
