Growing up outside of Cambridge, Massachusetts, all my life I've seen people wearing t-shirts and sweatshirts from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It always struck me odd, however, that instead of displaying the initials of the school as "M.I.T." to indicate that it was an acronym, they always showed it as "MIT," as if it were a single word.

Things got even weirder in my mind when I realized that "mit" was actually the German word for "with," and I always wondered what German tourists thought about people walking around with the word "with" emblazoned on their chest in big, bold letters.

Well, turnabout is fair play, and so I created the official shirt of a fictitious German school called the Wittenberg Institute of Theoretical Heuristics (WITH, for short). Yeah, it's silly and not many people will get the joke, but if you attend MIT or just live nearby it's guaranteed to cause a few double-takes as you walk down the street.
