For all the imagining of extraterrestrial aliens as strange, technologically-advanced creatures, they seem to be an awful lot like us. When scientists ask how aliens might try to communicate with other lifeforms, they tend to assume they would use methods and technology very similar to our own. Aeon makes the case that looking for alien life might be more than simply trying to find our own reflection in a mirror.

The city of Taxco, Mexico, was founded on silver — the mining and refining of the precious metal into jewelry, silverware, and other silverwork. The mines are gone, but the twisting medieval streets and alleys of the picturesque town remain. Taxco is the site of the 2016 Taxco Downhill urban mountain bike course, where 40,000 people come to watch the top riders in the world fly — literally — through the streets. Chris Van Dine, Antoine Bizet and Wil White load up on GoPros and take a reconnaissance lap of the streets of Taxco.
Self-taught tattoo artist JC Sheitan Tenet has lived without his right arm for most of his life. After a chance meeting at a tattoo convention, he and biomechanic artist Jean-Louis Gonza began working on a custom prosthetic. Unlike human arms, his can pivot a full 360 degrees, allowing Tenet to create abstract designs that can't be duplicated by other artists.
Shinola's Monster is a reasonable take on the classic diving watch. With this reference, it skews more sporty than formal, thanks to a stainless steel case and unidirectional bezel insert given a lightweight, scratch-resistant black ceramic plating. The watch is powered by a Swiss-made SW200-1 automatic movement boasting a 38-hour power reserve that's visible through the exhibition case back. A wave pattern on the black dial provides a textured backdrop for the lume-filled indices and hour/minute hands. It's finished with a date window at 4 o'clock, red highlights that reference the fireboats of the Great Lakes, and an integrated black rubber strap.

In that grand tradition, the Flying Frenchies have dedicated themselves to French ideals through sport. 2,000 feet above the ground, this comedy/sport collective adds a flair for the dramatic to the drama of BASE jumping from a zipline at 50 MPH.
No one likes zombies — unless they're on the screen and you don't have a role in the movie.
