Some people try to deny that they remember the feeling of “you are only alive once”, so it stands for emotion that reflects eternal truth. Of course, some of the religious beliefs do not strictly agree, but that was the truth of the 24th century ago when an unknown artist created the so-called “yoromosaic” excavated in the southern part of Turkey in the 20 Ten.

As long as death remains undefeated, each era needs itself Memento Moriand the hilarious skeleton will definitely keep going to work in all its paradoxical charms – sometimes with drinks in hand.
