Life, the universe, pies, hot-pink bunnies, world domination, and everything
This year, MuseBlog will be dedicating each month’s Random Thread to a different Muse and ens realm of expertise*. For starters, we’re declaring the rest of January the month of astronomy and renaming it Uranuary. Lady Bunniful’s interstellar graphic says it all. Ad astra, omnes!
*When we run out of Muses, we’ll turn to Graces or GAPAs or something. We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.
If you’re new on the blog, please stop by this thread and say pie — er, hi.

Yes, those TV shows.

Piggy’s description:
We could share factoids we’ve read, advice from personal experience, observations about the world, what-have-you. Everyone learns something new every day, and I’d like a place to share.

The mad Morris man turns 17 today (Thursday, January 26). Please high-step over to the January birthday thread and give him some pie. With bells and ribbons, of course.
The other day Castle made the mistake of asking inquired about the construction of the Uranuary Random Thread graphic. Since I couldn’t think of a short answer and because everyone else runs and hides when I talk about this stuff and there was the chance that some explanation might be useful to those MuseBloggers who do graphics, I thought I’d try this method of providing a few details. Click on the image below to see the large version.
Let me know if this is useful or if anything is unclear.
