A new installment of a time-honored MuseBlog tradition, by request of Bob and E2MB. Take a look at version 2006.4 to see how it works.
Month: April 2007
Questioning the ‘Net
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”
RRR, v. 2007.2 (Science-fiction) – Part 2
Continued from https://musefanpage.com/blog/?p=675 .
Name Changes
We’re having trouble keeping track of everybody. If you change your name and want other MBs to know about it, post a notice here. If you spot someone else’s new alias and think others should know about it, tell them here. We’ll update the Who’s Here page eventually, but there’s never enough time for everything, you know?
April Showers, Part 2
Continued.
The rain that started in Part 1 of the monthly random thread just keeps coming down. The forecast: cloudier, with scatter-brained showers giving way to torrential downpours.
(Thanks to Red-Tailed HAWK for the banner image.)
Pie War 2007, Part 2
The craziness continues.
Continued from Part One.
Movies
Dancergirl13’s idea. We haven’t had a movie thread in more than a year, and back then it was combined with books. Do Musers even watch movies? There’s only one way to find out…
Cryptids and Soccer
MBers have requested separate threads about soccer and cryptids. Each topic sounded a bit specialized, but together there might be enough posts to sustain a thread, so here you are. Let the confusion begin!
Incredible Beasts of Museica
Requested by Lord Raguevire, who mentioned Wungs, Knerwolves, Bvorgs, Raggets, and Ravangars.
That’s three threads in one day. No more requests until Friday, please.
Cooking and Food
Requested by Romana2, who wrote:
could we have a cooking thread? Like, to share recipes and stuff? We could share our favorite pies-for-pie-throwing recipes, LOL!
We added “and Food” because not everybody cooks, but everybody eats.
Evolution, v. 2007.1
Let’s take this topic off the Religions thread.
Stupid Senseless Smiley Stories, v. 2007.2
The last batch (SSSS, v. 2007.1) was great. Now the saga continues, with bunnies added to the dramatis personae.
Chicago Kokonvention on Thursday?
We haven’t been following all the backs and forths and ins and outs. Is it going to happen on Thursday the 5th? Staff members in Chicago have been alerted and are ready to show you around. Just say the word.
NOTE: Anyone organizing a tour should get in touch directly with Muse‘s intern Myra Awodey (mawodey@uchicago.edu) as soon as possible.
Riddles
Continued.
Requested by Alice.

Thanks,

Current topic: Philosophy?
North Korea
Communism
Sailing
The end of the world
Circuses / circus type things?
