May Day Ball — Part 2

Muse Academy’s big spring event, continued from Part 1.

The Organizing Committee thread contains useful reference information, such as a menu of hors d’oeuvres and pictures of some of the gowns students are wearing.

If you need a break from the music and dancing, you can skip upstairs to the rooftop garden.

Dissing Mr. Joe, Part 3

A perennially popular series of threads in which MBers vent their frustrations and display their creativity by abusing the blog’s favorite scapegoat, :mrgreen: . It really does seem to make people feel better.

Platypus Has Weird Genes, Too

This isn’t Muse-related, but it’s worth knowing:

Today, the journal Nature publishes the first map of the platypus genome. It turns out that this strange and wonderful animal is strange and wonderful on the inside, too. Google “platypus genome” to find out more (and notice how artfully news reporters avoid writing the plural of “platypus”).

Muse Scouts

By overwhelming popular demand.

Let’s not put the Girl Scouts out of business, though. Some of their cookies are flamablamablous.

*Kitty says “Have a happy magazine birthday!”

A flamablamablous natal anniversary to the poet, mom, and sometime chicken farmer who has given humanity Ble, Notscape, and Screamazon.eek (not to mention a much-needed sneer at birthday cards that exploit the cuteness of kittens). Hirbday, Nak! Hopegood! Youyay!

Meet Our Muses

Who’s your Muse?

Suggested by The Man For Aeiou, who describes it this way: “remember the feature from 2003ish in the mag? like that, only for Muses of us artist, writers, Etc. What’s POSOC’s Muse like? Who’s Alice’s? what about the rest of the MBers?”
