I embarked on a perilous journey to North Sentinel Island with three friends, aware of the dangers and illegality.

Eventually, we were released, but the memories of the journey stayed with me forever.

In my vast travels around the solar system, I have seen many things. Some breathtakingly beautiful, some disgustingly horrific, some vomit-inducingly obscene, and some just plain weird. I recently came back from my second trip to Venus, realizing that I had now visited every single planet. Then I decided to write this blog, ranking all of the planets and providing some information about my trip.

New users have begun to post many of the blogs we see on the page today, and blogging powerhouses such as baptistegorce, toowise, ItzIngenious, and Stewart, have not been posting as much content as back in the day. I recently did an analysis and will publish my findings in this blog.
