Welcome to Spaceport Hippo.

– Factoid.

In the beginning, the universe was created. This made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move. Many races believe it was created by some sort of God, but the Jatravartid people of Viltvodle VI firmly believed that the entire universe was, in fact, sneezed out of the nose of a being called the Great Green Arkleseizure. The Jatravartids, who lived in perpetual fear of the time they called “The Coming of the Great White Handkerchief” were small, blue creatures with more than fifty arms each. They were unique in being the only race in history to have invented the aerosol deodorant before the wheel. – Viltvodle VI (from Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy)

Note: Another summer list. This is samba lounge, nothing but mellow. (Question: why is it when you land at different airport, the music afterward is always tacky? They sound completely off, different planet. For once I want to hear something nice. Well, this is my version of interplanetary tackiness. Probably the creature on the other side of the galaxy has better music taste.)
