An image of Bruegels painting - The Triumph of Death
Life's ultimate inevitability... The Triumph of Death by Pieter Bruegel the Elder (c. 1562).

Hello fellow editors, I am Loopy30. When I originally picked this user name as a convenient account sign in, I did not realize that I would be then tagged as 'Loopy' on all Wikimedia correspondence henceforth. I try to contribute to Wikipedia when and where I can as I have many interests across various fields including natural sciences, geography, history, travel, space, and military technology. I am retired from full-time employment and am now back to school part-time for another degree, this time studying biology.

  • Sharing information is akin to sharing love, they both help others flourish without diminishing the giver.
  • If information is power, then Wikipedia is free fuel for the mind.

“As buds give rise by growth to fresh buds, and these, if vigorous, branch out and overtop on all sides many a feebler branch, so by generation I believe it has been with the great

Tree of Life
, which fills with its dead and broken branches the crust of the earth, and covers the surface with its ever branching and beautiful ramifications.” – Darwin, 1859
