that part about the debris was really interesting. hey, at least it’s not oil.
SPOILER SPOILER NOVEMBER/DECEMBER MUSE SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER
I read the whole thing yesterday. I so loved it :).
I liked the letters best. All these MBers got posted! (Shadowkat, etc.) Some kid liked Kiki’s article. I never actually got to show my admiration for that article. It was truly awesome.

SPOILER SPOILER NOVEMBER/DECEMBER MUSE SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER
I haven’t gotten mine yet, but i was told that i’d gotten in….is it true? *hopes*
SPOILER SPOILER NOVEMBER/DECEMBER MUSE SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER
On our way from the Pumpkin Drop to Muse, PA, Robert gave us his Muse to read in the car, so I read it then. And when we got home, it was waiting for us!
I liked Paul Baker’s article, and I thought the one about the oceanographers and flotsam, etc. was really interesting too.
~SPOILER~SPOILER SPOILER NOVEMBER/DECEMBER MUSE SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER
My favorite was the article on the garden of surprises. I loved how the water blocked the entrances, and the obelisks that represet the elements. Im reading the one on counting the dead. Its interesting. Kokopelli and Co. lol
SPOILER SPOILER NOVEMBER/DECEMBER MUSE SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER
No one’s answering me. Did my letter/pictures get in? someone tell me please!
SPOILER SPOILER NOVEMBER/DECEMBER MUSE SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER
6-I think so, lemme go check. Yup, there it is, Emma M. I like the pic of you and Robert.
PB&J wrote an article! It was hilarious.
SPOILER SPOILER NOVEMBER/DECEMBER MUSE SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER
Did I get in? I haven’t got it yet but I’m dying of suspense. I would be Alice W.
SPOILER SPOILER NOVEMBER/DECEMBER MUSE SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER
7-FROODY!!!!!!!!!!!! did they have both pics, or just the one with Robert?
[Both. –Rebecca]
SPOILER SPOILER NOVEMBER/DECEMBER MUSE SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER
8-I don’t think so…No.
SPOILER SPOILER NOVEMBER/DECEMBER MUSE SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER
8-When did you send yours in? I sent mine in June, so if it’s later than that, there’s still hope…
9-Yay!!!!!!!
SPOILER SPOILER NOVEMBER/DECEMBER MUSE SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER
I got it. I’m so happy. except I’m slightly annoyed. They edited it! I read it and I noticed it said emma the duck, not emmatheduck. i would never put spaces in emmatheduck. So I checked and I didn’t, they changed it. They also fixed some of my punctuation and grammar, though I suppose i can’t really complain about that.
I LOVE MUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I suppose I should read my October issue now too? lol.
SPOILER SPOILER NOVEMBER/DECEMBER MUSE SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER
(12) It is an occasion of much rejoicing to see emmatheduck and Muse reconciled. Long may peace reign.
Perhaps one of those dreaded Spacebar Imps lives somewhere in the office building. You may have noticed a similarly improper reference to “Muse Blog.”

I played Chinook (the perfect checkers program) and lost in 18 moves.
It’s a bit odd that I got the issue after the halloween/scary/ghosts/october issue and its still october. The Garden was really cool, i wish i could go there
SPOILER SPOILER NOVEMBER/DECEMBER MUSE SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER
My dad thinks i should write another letter, complaining bout the spaces and also saying that I’m now 12 5/2, not 12 4/2. and by the time they publish that, I would be 12 6/2, so I could write back a third time…..
SPOILER SPOILER NOVEMBER/DECEMBER MUSE SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER
Has anyone ever found any flotsam of any kind? I think it would be really cool to find a bottle with a message in it
SPOILER SPOILER NOVEMBER/DECEMBER MUSE SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER
Yay! I haven’t even had time to read it all, but it’s great so far…

I have noticed yet more similarities between Muse and Odyssey from this month. They had an aticle that had to do Is there any reltion between the magazines???
And where does Muse get it’s questions for the Q&A from? Because the same question was in Odyssey (litterally the same, both from an Amanda).
SPOILER SPOILER NOVEMBER/DECEMBER MUSE SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER
Emma, what’s wrong with being a teenager?
SPOILER SPOILER NOVEMBER/DECEMBER MUSE SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER
And shadowkat too? It seems that no muse mail can go without a museblogger’s letter. When l send a letter, it’ll be under agagabagabag zepata, not my real name.
SPOILER SPOILER NOVEMBER/DECEMBER MUSE SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER
Congratulations on getting your letter published, Emma! The 12 4/2 trick might just be useful come April.
I loved the messages in bottles article. It was interesting reading about the one from the Lusitania, since we’ve been studying about the Lusitania in my extremely boring social studies class.
SPOILER SPOILER NOVEMBER/DECEMBER MUSE SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER
19-Idk, I just don’t like the idea of growing up. Life gets more complicated as you grow older, and i ike being young. It also means I’m too old for spelling bees, but unfortunately there’s no way around that.
21-What’s happening in April?
[emmatheduck, now that your message has been conveyed, could you please shorten your name? Thank you. –the Management]
22 – I will become a teenager. *shudders*
22-Okay, done. Sorry. It feels rather odd to reply to one’s own post…lol.
23-Oh…well then you’d be 12 2/2. 12 4/2 doesn’t come until you would otherwise be 14….
My friend’s age is even weirder than mine. She’s 12 12/12 and 12+1 months
SPOILER SPOILER NOVEMBER/DECEMBER MUSE SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER
Did anyone else notice that they used last names in the mail section instead of last initials?
What is this magazines recent obsession with DEATH? Jeez!
This was a good issue.
SPOILER SPOILER NOVEMBER/DECEMBER MUSE SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER
Ack, no! Delete that last post, GAPAs, I forgot the spoiler warning.
25 (Alice) – Robert has a funny story about that… (using last names).
I liked this issue, too.
(25) An editor told me that it’s not a new policy — just a slip-up.
SPOILER SPOILER NOVEMBER/DECEMBER MUSE SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER
25/27~ I noticed it was only on the last page of Muse Mail…. And we MBers saw that picture of Shadowkat AGES ago.
It was good. I loved Paul’s article, devoured the “How Many Had to Die?” article, and haven’t quite finished the floatsam artilce.
18~ Yes, I have often noticed similarities in topics betwixt the magazines. Not just odyssey and Muse, even, sometimes it’s all of them talking about the same thing!! Funny this time, my avorite and least favorite mags did basically the same article. Hmm. Guess which one’s my favorite?
The “How Many Had to Die?” Was great. Sobering, yes, but very thought provoking. It’s so horrible when you really stop to think about how much we wiped out by diseases. *shudders*
SPOILER SPOILER NOVEMBER/DECEMBER MUSE SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER
27 – Just a slip-up? I would think that they would be more careful than that.
My random thoughts:
Congratulations emmatheduck on your letter being published. Just so you know, I think they edit every letter. (They edited mine slightly, but I didn’t say anything.)
Shadowkat looks just like I thought she would. I don’t know why. They published her last name though!
Paul Baker’s article was awesome.
For some reason this issue felt normal length when I was reading it.
SPOILER SPOILER NOVEMBER/DECEMBER MUSE SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER
I thought the “How Many Had To Die” article was kinda boring. I thought the flotsam article was really cool. I would look for some flotsam if I lived near an ocean. Hey Emmatheduck, and Speller73 whats wrong with being a teenager? I’m one and it deffinately dosn’t stink.
29 (E2MB)- Hey, davidude! Long time no see!
I think I had something to say to you but I cannot remember what it was. How odd.
It seems normal length because you’ve gotten used to it being short.
30 – I just refuse to accept the fact that I will be a teenager. I understand that there’s nothing wrong with being one, but they are always stereotyped so negatively…
32-Yup, I’m one now. Phooey.
Of course, all of the “rules” are changing. Before, it was probably considered Strange to even consider romance before becoming a teen. But before that, people married very early because they didn’t live very long. But there are seeming steryotypes about teens. I have been sucked into it, too, so it doesn’t feel like I’m a teen.
OK, that was just me being strange, as usual!

THE SMALLER ISSUES OF MUSE IS STUPID!!!! GIVE ME MY 8 PAGES BACK, EVEN IF THEYRE NOTHING BUT ADS!!!! RAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
34- Woooah buddy. We have a complaints and rants thread for that. Also, once your there, please dont do all-caps. It really ticks off your fellow MBers and also the GAPAS.
32- Ditto. I am an adult brain in a child body.
