A new (sort of) newsletter for scarab enthusiasts, SCARABAEUS, just announced its first edition. Similar in content to its predecessor, SCARABS, it encourages contributions on all things scarab-related. If you don't know, you can read the history of how SCARABS became SCARABAEUS in the intro by the editors. I look forward to reading and possibly contributing to future editions.

The editors of Scarabs had put a 'pinup' image of ladies they personally knew at the end of a lot of their issues. It was PG-rated stuff at worst, but it caused some conflict with folks that felt it was sexist and inappropriate. I have no strong opinions on whether it was right or wrong, but it ended up causing an unnecessary distraction to all of the fantastic information in the newsletter. Check it out - it's a great read... and the girls aren't even as 'exposed' as the models in the swimsuit section of your weekly Kohl's ad...
