                He has a wiki with no picture, that is mysterious.

                      That explains a whole hell of a lot…

                      I was watching an Anime with Luke, once and commented that I believe that Hiroshima and Nagasaki really fucked up the Japanese on some deep instinctual level.

                        The Penrose Triangle, an IMPOSSIBLE figure created by Swedish artist Oscar Reutersvärd in 1934 and rediscovered in the 1950s by physicist Roger Penrose, is known as "impossibility in its purest form." Popularized by Penrose and highlighted in the works of M.C. Escher, this triangle appears to be a solid object composed of three straight sections of square sections joined together at straight angles.

                                They look malevolent.

                                  Speaking of scorpions, they’re worse than you think.

                                  They are scorpions for a reason.
                                  Scorpion Mother Carrying Babies on Her Back
                                  A scorpion can have up to 100 babies in a single brood. They are born alive, unlike other insects that hatch from eggs. At birth, the baby scorpion's exoskeleton, or outer shell, is extremely soft. They climb onto their mother's back for 10 to 20 days until their exoskeleton hardens. The offspring of a female scorpion ride on her back until they consume her entirely, hollowing her out in the process. Upon birth, the babies immediately attach themselves to their mother's back, feeding on her flesh until she is depleted and perishes.
                                  Afterward, they crawl away to start their independent lives.
