The Water LilyPublished 5 years ago in FuturismAlex The Inventor - Chapter 12 (Part 4)
Chapter 12 (Part 4) - The Menace Found... Alex trudged through the darkness, deep in thought, musing about his two wayward mechanical companions. He had never considered Legs or Big Ben his friends—at least not in the human sense—and yet... he still cared for and worried about them. Alex sighed and shook his head at the paradox and drew his collar up to ward off the chill night breeze. Hopefully the two oddly-behaving robots hadn't travelled very far, and his walk would be a short one. That old Ben was alive again was a miracle, but that he took off under his own power to do God knows what was an absolutely fascinating mystery that Alex had to find an answer to. The wind blew more sharply against his face as the boy picked his way through the shadows—the weak beam of his flashlight a mere candle flame beneath the over-arching night-world. The path the two robots made was deep and still fresh in the dry dirt, and so Alex followed. Wending this way and that, crookedly among the piles of scrap, the robots' tracks seemed to be headed toward a now-familiar area of the scrapyard:
G.F. BrynnPublished 5 years ago in FuturismDoctor Who
The Philosophy of Who Doctor Who is associated with many things. Rubber monsters, wobbly sets and, in more recent years, romance and high octane action. Something it often isn’t credited for, however, is the wealth of insightful and moving reflections it contains on both the human condition and nature of all things.

I don't remember the first time I saw The Matrix, but 10-year-old me was entirely too young to have seen it in theaters in 1999. I didn't get my hands on it until a few years later, in the midst of junior high. I coerced my mom into renting the VHS for me from Blockbuster so many times that we accrued a late fee or two because I kept my hands on it for so long.
Nikki DavisPublished 5 years ago in FuturismWhy You Should Choose Eco-Friendly Clothing and Cosmetics
This world is in trouble, and it has been for quite some time now. Rainforests are burning, polar ice caps are melting, and the temperatures are rising increasingly. And while we’re worried about how things will play out, and what the destiny of this planet and mankind will be, we still live our lives. After all, no matter what goes on around us, we still have to get dressed in the morning and maintain our personal hygiene. But, what if by doing exactly those things we’re harming the environment further? This is why it’s essential to reconsider our choices and turn to eco-friendly clothing and cosmetic products. Here are some reasons why—and ways how—to choose clothes and cosmetics which are more natural and sustainable.

Anna Gooding-CallPublished 5 years ago in FuturismWhy Most Star Trek Aliens Look Mostly Human
In Universe There are actually several reasons that the majority of the aliens found in the first few series, at least before we make it to the gamma quadrant, are somewhat humanoid in nature. This has to do with both the origin of the quadrant and the forces that have long protected it. The first reason is that the majority of the races in Trek, from Cardassians to humans, were genetically modified by the sewing of DNA onto their planets by a group of entities called the Progenetors. While little is known about them, they were advanced enough to leave behind a hidden code in the DNA of the races that they seeded that would reveal a hologram when combined. Before this point in time, there were no other humanoid races, and it is heavily implied that only this DNA is keeping the current races even slightly related. To read more about the hologram, Progenetors, and other speculation about them you can check their memory alpha articles.

Arrows and Roses - Chapter 13
It had been hours since she left for home and he was still in his room pacing about, unable to sleep. It was funny, to think gods didn’t need sleep but still did it anyway, much like eating human food. It was enjoyable. There were several stories of the gods sleeping for years, so it shouldn’t be a shock that he enjoyed it as much as the next god did.

Most Compatible Zodiac Sign Pairings
While compatibility in astrology is a complex subject with various opinions from astrologers, there are some sun signs that are naturally more suited than others. To get the most accurate measure of compatibility you will need to generate the birth charts from each time of birth and compare the signs in the planets (particularly the Sun, Moon, Venus, Mars and Ascendant), giving you a more complex reading.
