Fermi Paradox: Why we haven’t found Aliens yet? They might be aestivating



My Steampunk doppelganger, adventurous space traveler Max Von Sama, is exploring time and space on the SamaAirship.

The Deep: The Extraordinary Creatures of the Abyss



First week of May, I went to see an amazing exhibition in Paris titled: Abysses. It was at National Museum of Natural History (MNHN), in front of the Great Mosque of Paris.
