MBers have proposed that this new Round-Robin ‘Riting threat* thread be about humor, satire, and/or fractured fairytales. That’s fine with us. It’s your thread. Take it away, Musers!

NOTE: It doesn’t really get started until around Comment 60.

*It’s not really very threatening.

Random Dark Cloud suggested this topic: “My world history teacher seems to hate the internet and most other technology. Could we have a thread on the reliability of Wikipedia, Google and other search engines?”

Do those who live by Wikipedia die by Wikipedia? How do you look, what do you find, how do you judge? Where do you go from there? A hitchhiker’s guide on how not to be roadkill on the information superhighway. * (But say it without links, please.)

*a term which, of course, Wikipedia describes as “now obsolete”

That’s three threads in one day. No more requests until Friday, please.

(That’s Round-Robin ‘Riting, for the uninitiated.)

It’s been more than a year since we started the first “Ask the GAPAs” thread. Since then the number of Administrators on the blog has doubled, and we’re sure your questions have more than kept pace. So fire away. As before, we promise to answer entertainingly, or not at all.

Posted per the plea of Piggy the Proud Patholic, um, Catholic.

Life on PPP right now seems to consist of a vigorous and exciting Soccopelli game. You can review the game so far on Life on PPP, Part 4.

(In case you have trouble reading the second one on your monitor, here’s what it says.)

1. Because everyone would get free pies.
2. Because everyone would have to be stick figures.
3. Because everyone would have to shave their head except for 6 black hairs.
4. Because there would be free pie throwing contests every day.
5. Because his head would look so cool on a coin.
6. Because he would give up all nuclear weaponry in favor of pies.
7. Because it would be funny to see who he’d choose as a first lady (Aeiou? Mimi? URANIA?)
8. Because he would make sure that music programs weren’t cut from schools.
9. Because he’s black, a cartoon character, and skinny. Minorities, people!
10. Because I said so.

The continuing history of MuseBlog’s own lost (and found) continent. Basically unfathomable by now, but those foolish enough to try will find maps and clues in/on/at Part the Third.

The continuing saga, continued, continues. Continued from Ships’ Logs: Part Five.

Korrora’s project, described as follows:

I’m starting a Muse Calender with all the things we celebrate on it. Things like pi day, towel day, famous peoples b-days… If people know when things are (towel day etc…) would it be possible to post the date (on this thread or other designated thread)?

We thought there was a calendar right here on the blog, but apparently K. has something else in mind. As requested, here’s a thread for it.

It’s been almost a year since the previous Random Factoids thread. Loads of new factoid-filled Musers have joined the blog since then. Share and enjoy!

It’s International Brain Awareness Week! How shall we celebrate?

This press release arrived this morning in Robert’s e-mail. Bet you wondered where all those “official” theme weeks and months came from. Thought-provoking, isn’t it?

Greetings-
International Brain Awareness Week® is this week, March 12-18. Coordinated by the Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives, it will be celebrated with public events in more than 69 countries.

Brain Awareness Week may be a useful framework for your upcoming stories on brain-related subjects – such as body clocks, hormones, infant development, memory, and more. It may also be an opportunity to profile neuroscientists who are science communicators. Members of the Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives are just that; the Dana Alliance is a nonprofit organization of 260 leading neuroscientists committed to advancing public awareness of the brain. We would be happy to connect you with local experts.
…
*Brain Awareness Week® is a federally registered mark of the Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives. The Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives is a nonprofit organization of 260 leading neuroscientists, including ten Nobel laureates, committed to advancing public awareness about the progress and benefits of brain research. It is supported by the Dana Foundation, a private philanthropic organization with particular interests in neuroscience, immunology, and arts education.

You can’t improve on perfection, but you can try. Here are some images Ötzi created in a brief time out from her crushing homework load.

Psychopath bunny.

Picasso bunny.

French bunny.

Punk bunny.

This discussion threatens to derandomize the random thread. Here’s a place to conduct it, for those who want to.

As suggested by Capricious the great and terrible, a thread “where Musebloggers can write the name, how to pronounce, and description of an object that they ‘found’, and other Musebloggers can read it and tell them what they think.”

Rebecca Lasley didn’t finish this picture in time to post it for Valentine’s Day, but it’s too good to hold until next year:

MuseBlog’s online mewspaper. Um, nusepaper. You know what we mean.

Requested by Kiki and by Prarilius Canix. PC writes:

Specifically, a sci-fi RRR. Most of the past ones have been fantasy. I like fantasy a lot, but I think we could use something different.

Blog administrator Rebecca Lasley has supplied a startling image of the Washington, D.C., Metro (subway system) in the aftermath of the Million Muser March:

What? You’ve never heard of the Million Muser March? Well, no, of course not: it hasn’t happened yet. But when it does, this is what the results will look like. Resistance is Museless!
