I think it looks like a pixie sitting on a crescent moon with a star above. ETA: Aha, now I see the scimitar!
Looks like snakeskin, but I'm not sure how to tell the difference between real and fake. ETA: I vote fake just because that's all I'm seeing for...
I am flabbergasted. I aspire to know one tenth of what some of you all seem to know. Guess I should have paid more attention in history class!

Hey, I thought you had made a certain New Year's resolution regarding puns. Did I misread that somewhere, or did it last as long as my resolution...
