OK. This is the creative part of the site containing all of the "funn schtuff" that doesn't quite fit into any of the other categories. This is the home of parodies, random acts of creativity, links, and other oddities... as long as they are related in some way to women in mathematics and science. If you have any creativity or interesting contributions that you think may be "fitting" for this page, just e-mail me. Original drawings, stories and links to websites are all welcome!
