OK, I suppose I should have posted the transliteration and translation for the t-shirt...it is the first two lines of Enuma Elish:
e-nu-ma e-liš la na-bu-ú šá-ma-mu
šap-liš am-ma-tum šu-ma la zak-rat
When on high no name was given to heaven,
nor below was the netherworld called by name
You can also see it here

Assyriolgists should be able to read this inscription. But, the translation and transliteration may be useful for colleagues fields, e.g., archaeology, art history, and for those who just want to have fun.
PS by knemetnejat@gmail.com: a very small correction:
My comment should read: "colleagues in related fields." Writing and small editing are better done before sleep rather than during "sleep writing."
