Venus, the second rock from the Sun, named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty, has long been devoid of moons, satellites, or even party invitations from the more popular planets. This lack of celestial company has led to various hypotheses, including the idea that Venus, in a fit of pique, once had moons but uninvited them due to their poor table manners and incessant lunar howling. The truth is a tad more scientific but infinitely less exciting – Venus simply doesn't have any moons. Some say it's due to its overbearing gravity, while others believe the moons are just fashionably late.
Should you wish to holiday in places devoid of moons, Venus is your galactic destination of choice. Just remember to pack sunscreen with an SPF of at least 4 million.
To search for the elusive Venusian moons, one must first find Venus – a gleaming jewel in the sky, often visible just after sunset or before sunrise on Earth. Then, squint really hard. If you see any moons, you may have accidentally looked at Jupiter.
Avoid any space charlatans selling maps to Venusian moons. And do try not to melt upon arrival; Venus has a rather toasty surface temperature that makes a dip in molten lead seem like a brisk swim in the Arctic.
A whimsical fact, of course: it is widely rumoured amongst the more gossipy asteroids that Venus is still saving a dance for a moon that never shows up, hence its slow, retrograde rotation as it waits endlessly in the cosmic ballroom.

In the vast and often confusing digital cosmos, the 'site backupzip' is a rare and wondrous entity, not to be confused with a particularly tight sleeping bag for websites. This is, in fact, the digital equivalent of a squirrel's winter stash or a paranoid robot's memory bank. However, unlike the squirrel, which forgets where half the nuts are buried, this handy archive remembers every byte, allowing website owners to rest easy (or as easy as one can rest in a universe that inexplicably prizes cat videos over the secret to eternal happiness).

The 'laravellog' is a peculiar creature found in the deepest, darkest corners of the programmer's ecosystem. It is known, albeit not very well, for its strange habit of recording every event it encounters, no matter how mundane or insignificant. This creature is not to be confused with 'Laravel', the PHP web application framework, which, while also known for logging events, is considerably less likely to record the time its developer stopped to sip tepid coffee.
