Dear Reader Jim Allen of Bellingen, New South Wales, Australia, kindly volunteered to design some Aardvarchaeology merchandise, for which I am very grateful. Here's Jim at his local museum along with fellow volunteer Charlotte Rogers, in the first picture of readers using their Aard merch! You too can enjoy caffeinated beverages in as stylish a manner as Jim & Charlotte: just head over to the Aard shop for mugs and t-shirts.

Those free Nigerian scam t-shirts never materialised, but still, the affair prompted me to get some excellent merch art made and set up a web shop. A good thing about this is that now I can offer all three designs submitted by Jim Allen, Stacy Mason and Joe Hewitt!
Dear Reader, hie thee over to Ye…
Here's the second t-shirt design suggestion, from Stacy Mason! Compare the first one from Jim Allen/Sweeney.
And Barn Owl has volunteered to distribute the shirts! So unless a third design comes my way soon, I'll set up an on-line poll to decide which image goes onto the Aardvarchaeology t-shirts…
The t-shirt deal is starting to look like a Nigerian scam. The original offer was that I would get some free printed t-shirts from Ooshirts.com if I advertised about their site. Now have a load of this:

What is the marsupial analogue to the aardvark? And isn't New South Wales Ned Kelly territory?

We don't have a true Aardvark analogue in Australia. The marsupial Wombat is similar in size and a powerful digger, but is wholly herbivorous. Our best known and most common ant eater is the monotreme Echidna, which is about the size of a hedgehog.
Yeah. There were now-extinct much larger species of Echidna which might have been a better analogue.
Kelly was in Victoria. New South Welshmen are all honest, law-abiding folk :P
Martin, you may be without a job soon :-)

John, the slanderous English nursing rhyme should be altered to
"Taffy was a (North) Welshman
Taffy was a thief..."
Birger, we Australians like to romanticise our bushrangers as rebellious folk heroes - usually without knowing very much factual about them. It's really rather funny when you come to study their detailed history to discover what a bunch of psychopaths they were.
