For February, we commemorate the famous &#8220;priest hole&#8221; article &#8212; Paul Baker&#8217;s second foray into <em>Muse<\/em>, published in the October 2003 issue. (Priest holes were hiding places for persecuted Catholics in 16th-century England.) Also in the issue were articles about parasites, West Virginia University&#8217;s annual Pumpkin Drop, and the unfortunate Phineas Gage, a railroad worker whose gruesome encounter with a flying tie rod in 1848 taught scientists a lot about the workings of the brain. Good stuff, indeed.<\/p>\n<p>Ideas for future random threads are <a href=\"https:\/\/musefanpage.com\/blog\/?p=12791\">still welcome<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Users&#8217; Manual:<\/strong> Obey <a href=\"https:\/\/musefanpage.com\/blog\/?page_id=18\">The Rules<\/a>.
