OK, there's this shirt that American Eagle Outfitters once sold. My girlfriend bought it, and wears it religiously. My problem is that I have no FREAKIN' clue as to what it means. It's two owls standing next to each other on a branch, and the picture is nearly symmetrical.
Can anyone clue me in on this, if you've got an idea or maybe if you've seen the shirt?

Two owls? On a tight t-shirt from a store with notoriously skanky clothes? Ummmmm.....
*leaves that alone*
Does the shirt say Algebra is for Lovers? Or is it just the owls? Now I'm confused. And is Emp still around anyway?

Oh hey - and apparently someone named Kelly explains it all in her blog.

And I got a Whiskeytown CD (yay!), and we went to Victoria's Secret, Heeeeee... I like that store. Pretty items of clothing. Pretty pretty. Hee.
I'm so glad I found this. I feel so enlightened.

I was going to link to that same Korean site, Annie, but you beat me to it. And I really don't think AE is notoriously skanky. Are you possibly confusing them with Abercrombie and Fitch?
As for what "Algebra is for Lovers" means, I would reason that it is a nerdy joke based on "Virginia is for Lovers". That is the original one, isn't it? There have been a lot of parodies of it. I have a shirt from Urban Outfitters that says replaces Virginia with Texas.

I think we need to start a Kelly fanclub...
