“elm” is kinda sorta the antithesis to “wood” in the same way that “Raddle” is the antithesis to “game that doesn't make me want to throw my laptop across the room”

How does a Coffe table look like in an astrophysics department at @Radboud_uni ? Full of puzzles! In this particularly nasty case a puzzle that came out of a PhD thesis making use of LOFAR data to study the magnetic field in our Milky Way …

The two rebuses shared today are probably too tough.

Yet, because they pop into my mind, I make them and then share them.

Keeping them to myself seems counterproductive.

Like any other creative endeavor, they seem to need to be seen by others.

To offset, I'll also share this one.

I hope it is not...

A Rhyme for no Reason

Looks like a letter.
(Could be drawn better?)
It's like a #rebus I guess,
And I wish you success.

It is March and the lovely @enigmarch people have challenged puzzle designers to write a puzzle inspired by today's word: "star".

Oh no! The USA clown President Trump (egged on by his buffoonish adviser Elon Musk) wants to appoint Joint Chiefs of Staff in the Department of Defense. He certainly didn't want to choose based on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, because that's liberal code for excluding failsons such himself. Instead, he chose based on merit.

But this was an unprecedented kind of "merit." Trump nominated John Caine, a *three*-star Air Force Lt. General, to be Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Title 10 of the U.S. Code says that Trump must choose from *four*-star generals and admirals. But he's really scraping the bottom of the barrel, had to settle for for Caine, who's missing a star. (In Caine's defense, he's pretty good at flattering Trump, which might count as "merit" in this situation.)

Silver lining: I can make a puzzle out of "missing a star". Below, you see some anagrammed phrases. But beware: though each phrase contained the letters S…T…A…R (in order but not contiguous), those letters went missing before I did the anagramming. To help you out, there are clues down below. Each clue has one letter that stands out. When you know which clue goes with an anagram, write that stands-out letter down in the blank on the left-hand side. When you're done, those left-hand letters should spell out the special character of Caine's "merit." We got you started by unscrambling United (Sta)tes Ai(r) Force; whose clue's stands-out letter is U:
