May/June 2009

This month's Muse is infested with hitchhiking carp, donut-chomping aliens, pack rats, and snakes on—what else?—a plane. Handle with care!

Make sure to check out the winners of our Robotticelli contest, and send a submission to our new contest. We've also got a brand-new, urine-related experiment (online only!) and some great book recommendations.

...What's that you say? School's out for summer? What better way to spend your free time than writing a MUSEROLOGY submission? Muse wants to hear from YOU!
