July/August 2009

Suffering from summer boredom? Siblings a pain in the neck? This month's Muse has a placebo to fix you up—at least if you think it will! We've also got spiderwebs to catch your summer pests, and all kinds of funny-looking computers for some bytes that won't itch.

We're off to band camp in this month's Muserology. How's yours coming along?

Finally, we've got some Pretty Gross contest winners for you, and a new contest for all the crazy pranks you've been playing. We bet even Kokopelli could learn a thing or two from you!
