I’ll tell you again, but I really think that the crazy frog thing is funny. Go here to see it. http://gprime.net/video.php/bassbumpers.
It takes some time to load, but it’s hallarious!
And I thought that the Tower of London thing in the october issue was freaky. I would have married the king however much a villian he was if he was going to feed me poison eggs!!!!
Muse is my favorite Magazine. It beats National Geographic Kids which has turned into a pizza advertising cheapsake.

Maybe Muse should run an issue on punctuation; I’d enjoy it very much.
I agree with you entirely, Ebeth. Concur with every word you’re saying. Would anyone mind if I ate the last sandwich?

Better give the company a call. Instructions are on the October Surprise thread. At worst you’ll end up with two copies. Then you can leave one in a doctor’s office or somewhere to convert new Musers.

Italics are made by putting an “i” in between “greater than” and “less than signs”. To end them, you do the exact same thing, except you put a slash before the “i”.

I’ve been a fan of Muse since the first time I read Kokopelli and Company. It was the one where Koko is throwing walnuts at Mimi and Urania. I adore Larry Gonick’s book ‘Attack of the Smart Pies’ and I think they should turn it into a live action movie. The movie makers could use computer effects to animate the sillouette of Kokopelli moving along the wall. This would create a somewhat creepy effect. Koko was just a tad creepy in the book. Also, I think Jim Carry should do the voice of Kokopelli, since he’s good at changing his voice. I’ve invented a special voice for Koko. To speak like Kokopelli, the most important thing to remember, is this: replace all r’s with l’s (unless the r is the last sound made in the word. except in the case of ‘Dr. Eze Momo.’ This is pronounced- ‘Doct-el-ez-momo.’) Examples of Kokopelli-speak:
URANIA=ULANIA
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD=LITTLE LED LIDING HOOD
PIRATE=PILATE (pronounced PILOT)
Now you get it. Hope you like it.
The only complaint I must make, is in regard to the article on Chimps and Bonobos by Franns De Wall. The article, for those of you who may have missed it, was an excerpt from a really good book of his, ‘My Family Album.’ The article itself is good, but I don’t think Muse should be writing about Bonobos. Muse is a magazine that tries to expose kids to things that most people don’t know much about. And they try to give kids as much information as they can. In the case of the Bonobos, a major topic was left out. It is impossible (almost an insult) to write about Bonobos without reference to their sex life. (don’t worry parents, Muse used the word in their article on self asteem) If you want to find out exactly why, i would recomend purchasing the book ‘Bonobo-The Forgotten Ape,’ also by Frans De Wall. (I carry it around with me everywhere)
And finally, in closing, a message to fellow Musers.
I would encourage you all to bombard the Muse offices with letters requesting they make a film version of ‘Attack of the Smart Pies.’ (preferably live action) That’s all for now. Muse rules

.. And so it fell to my lot
to take and bind this promising boy
apprentice to a pilot
I was a stupid nursery maid,
of breakers always steering (??)
I did not catch the word aright
for being hard of hearing.
Mistaking my instructions which
within my brain did gyrate
I took and bound this promising boy apprentice to a pirate.
gilbert and sullivan. Yay.

GENERAL: I am the very model of a modern Major-General,
I’ve information vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical
From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical;
I’m very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical,
I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical,
About binomial theorem I’m teeming with a lot o’ news,
With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.
ALL: With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse, with many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse, with many cheerful facts about the square of the hypota-pota-nuse!
GENERAL: I’m very good at integral and differential calculus;
I know the scientific names of beings animalculous:
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.
ALL: In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
He is the very model of a modern Major-General.
GENERAL: I know our mythic history, King Arthur’s and Sir Caradoc’s;
I answer hard acrostics, I’ve a pretty taste for paradox,
I quote in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus,
In conics I can floor peculiarities parabolous;
I can tell undoubted Raphaels from Gerard Dows and Zoffanies,
I know the croaking chorus from the Frogs of Aristophanes!
Then I can hum a fugue of which I’ve heard the music’s din afore,
And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense Pinafore. ((they are making fun of themselves here, a critic once described Gilbert&Sullivan’s Pinafore as ‘whistling music’))
ALL: And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense pinafore, and whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense pinafore, and whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsesce pina-pina-fore!

And tell you ev’ry detail of Caractacus’s uniform:
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.
ALL: In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
He is the very model of a modern Major-General.
GENERAL: In fact, when I know what is meant by “mamelon” and “ravelin”,
When I can tell at sight a Mauser rifle from a javelin,
When such affairs as sorties and surprises I’m more wary at,
And when I know precisely what is meant by “commissariat”,
When I have learnt what progress has been made in modern gunnery,
When I know more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery–
In short, when I’ve a smattering of elemental strategy,
You’ll say a better Major-General has never sat a gee.
ALL: You’ll say a better Major-General has never sat-a gee-,You’ll say a better Major-General has never sat-a gee, You’ll say a better Major-General has never sat-a-sat-a-gee!
GENERAL: For my military knowledge, though I’m plucky and adventury,
Has only been brought down to the beginning of the century;
But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.
ALL: But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
He is the very model of a modern Major-General.

I’m not sure if this is the correct place to ask this, but is there any way to get back issues of Muse which are not listed in the magazine? Because I missed a couple when we moved due to some dreadful error. Specifically the nov/dec issue of 2004 and the jan and feb issues of 2005. Not only do I not want have unsightly gaps in my Muse collection, but it seems I have missed some very opinionated articles which everyone is complaining about in their letters.

It wouldn’t hurt to call and check. Back issues of Muse also regularly come up for sale on Ebay, though you usually have to buy a year’s worth.

I’ve been a fan of Muse since the first time I read Kokopelli and Company. It was the one where Koko is throwing walnuts at Mimi and Urania. I adore Larry Gonick’s book ‘Attack of the Smart Pies’ and I think they should turn it into a live action movie. The movie makers could use computer effects to animate the sillouette of Kokopelli moving along the wall. This would create a somewhat creepy effect. Koko was just a tad creepy in the book. Also, I think Jim Carry should do the voice of Kokopelli, since he’s good at changing his voice. I’ve invented a special voice for Koko. To speak like Kokopelli, the most important thing to remember, is this: replace all r’s with l’s (unless the r is the last sound made in the word. except in the case of ‘Dr. Eze Momo.’ This is pronounced- ‘Doct-el-ez-momo.’) Examples of Kokopelli-speak:
URANIA=ULANIA
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD=LITTLE LED LIDING HOOD
PIRATE=PILATE (pronounced PILOT)
Now you get it. Hope you like it.
The only complaint I must make, is in regard to the article on Chimps and Bonobos by Franns De Wall. The article, for those of you who may have missed it, was an excerpt from a really good book of his, ‘My Family Album.’ The article itself is good, but I don’t think Muse should be writing about Bonobos. Muse is a magazine that tries to expose kids to things that most people don’t know much about. And they try to give kids as much information as they can. In the case of the Bonobos, a major topic was left out. It is impossible (almost an insult) to write about Bonobos without reference to their sex life. (don’t worry parents, Muse used the word in their article on self asteem) If you want to find out exactly why, i would recomend purchasing the book ‘Bonobo-The Forgotten Ape,’ also by Frans De Wall. (I carry it around with me everywhere)
And finally, in closing, a message to fellow Musers.
I would encourage you all to bombard the Muse offices with letters requesting they make a film version of ‘Attack of the Smart Pies.’ (preferably live action) That’s all for now. Muse rules
.. And so it fell to my lot
to take and bind this promising boy
apprentice to a pilot
I was a stupid nursery maid,
of breakers always steering (??)
I did not catch the word aright
for being hard of hearing.
Mistaking my instructions which
within my brain did gyrate
I took and bound this promising boy apprentice to a pirate.
gilbert and sullivan. Yay.
Almost perfect! It’s “on breakers always steering.”
*gasp* omg i love that!
i like the modern major general song…
there’s an awesome parody at [ahem]…but i probably shouldn’t link that…it’s got some dubious stuff on there *coughlordoftheblingcough* [no, you shouldn’t. –Admin.]
anyway…
GENERAL: I am the very model of a modern Major-General,
I’ve information vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical
From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical;
I’m very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical,
I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical,
About binomial theorem I’m teeming with a lot o’ news,
With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.
ALL: With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse, with many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse, with many cheerful facts about the square of the hypota-pota-nuse!
GENERAL: I’m very good at integral and differential calculus;
I know the scientific names of beings animalculous:
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.
ALL: In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
He is the very model of a modern Major-General.
GENERAL: I know our mythic history, King Arthur’s and Sir Caradoc’s;
I answer hard acrostics, I’ve a pretty taste for paradox,
I quote in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus,
In conics I can floor peculiarities parabolous;
I can tell undoubted Raphaels from Gerard Dows and Zoffanies,
I know the croaking chorus from the Frogs of Aristophanes!
Then I can hum a fugue of which I’ve heard the music’s din afore,
And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense Pinafore. ((they are making fun of themselves here, a critic once described Gilbert&Sullivan’s Pinafore as ‘whistling music’))
ALL: And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense pinafore, and whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense pinafore, and whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsesce pina-pina-fore!
GENERAL: Then I can write a washing bill in Babylonic cuneiform,
And tell you ev’ry detail of Caractacus’s uniform:
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.
ALL: In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
He is the very model of a modern Major-General.
GENERAL: In fact, when I know what is meant by “mamelon” and “ravelin”,
When I can tell at sight a Mauser rifle from a javelin,
When such affairs as sorties and surprises I’m more wary at,
And when I know precisely what is meant by “commissariat”,
When I have learnt what progress has been made in modern gunnery,
When I know more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery–
In short, when I’ve a smattering of elemental strategy,
You’ll say a better Major-General has never sat a gee.
ALL: You’ll say a better Major-General has never sat-a gee-,You’ll say a better Major-General has never sat-a gee, You’ll say a better Major-General has never sat-a-sat-a-gee!
GENERAL: For my military knowledge, though I’m plucky and adventury,
Has only been brought down to the beginning of the century;
But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.
ALL: But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
He is the very model of a modern Major-General.
okaaaaaaaaay…..
yessssssssssss!!! I ♥ that song!!!!
oh sry for the website GAPA. I didn’t link it though!!! um..go me?
I’ll try not to type the urls either…
I’m not sure if this is the correct place to ask this, but is there any way to get back issues of Muse which are not listed in the magazine? Because I missed a couple when we moved due to some dreadful error. Specifically the nov/dec issue of 2004 and the jan and feb issues of 2005. Not only do I not want have unsightly gaps in my Muse collection, but it seems I have missed some very opinionated articles which everyone is complaining about in their letters.
It wouldn’t hurt to call and check. Back issues of Muse also regularly come up for sale on Ebay, though you usually have to buy a year’s worth.
Thanks.
Cue whistling wind and those rolly thistle thingies.
I meant tumble-weeds. Sorry, I couldn’t think of the word. *Ahem*
Cue whistling wind and tumble-weeds.
say what?
Nobody’s here. Except you… and me. It’s a ghost thread. That’s the classic sound effect to signify vacancy.
alot of these threads are like that. in fact, just about all of them are. someday, if im really bored, i will go post long rants on them. they’ll probably all explode from dissuse.
Everybody should visit the old threads! Just because they’re old, it doesn’t mean they aren’t any good! What ever happened to “respect for the elderly”!? Wake up to the glory of youthfully-challenged threads, fellow bloggers.
URGANT NOTICE:
PLEASE GO TO THE ‘MUSE MOVIE?’ SECTION RIGHT AWAY, AND POST YOUR IDEAS FOR A LIVE ACTION/COMPUTER ANIMATED* MOVIE BASED ON ‘ATTACK OF THE SMART PIES.’
* KOKOPELLI IS A COMPUTER ANIMATED SHADOW!
PS: THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT!
