There is a marsupial called the Booby.

I never understood why the "save the Booby" campaign wasn't more successful than the other endangered marsupial benefits...

Who *doesn't* want to save boobies?

that's freaking awesome! i want a tee-shirt goddammit!

I searched online, but I couldn't find any tshirts. :(
There is, however, both a red-footed and a blue-footed booby, and if you google marsupial booby conservation, you get a link to a paper on breast cancer research, which is... interesting, since I'm willing to bet that "booby" doesn't feature in that paper, so google is "interpreting" somewhat. :D

We should make tshirts for saving the boobies, though. There's a huge market for those.

i'm totally gonna make one, just you wait.... till i have any time to spare... which'll be 2010, probably, but i'll do it!

But what if the boobies are all gone by then?! Imagine a world without boobies. :(

Well, the back would be a world without boobies, yes. :P
