Mario's nightmares now in shirt form photo

There are only two ways someone could have thought up the design behind the Super Mario games. Either with a ton of drugs or a really bad dream. As today's Woot shirt shows us, the idea behind the Mario games came from a dream ... probably after passing out from the drugs.

"The Sleep of Reason Produces Flying Turtles" shirt was created by rglee129 and features many notable enemies of the Mushroom Kingdom all terrorizing Mario as he takes a nap. The shirt is going for $10 with free shipping over on Shirt.Woot and you have until the end of today to grab it!
