There is a theory that if anyone ever discovered the true nature of how the universe works, it would disappear and be replaced with something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
There is another theory that this has already happened.Not theories. Fantasies.
This is a quote from a book called The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
Congratulations, you are one of today’s lucky ten thousand, and you are in for a treat! (If you like

I’m in Men at Arms, reading in release order. I have no favourite book (I rarely have favorites of any kind), I like most of them very much, though Pyramids,

Gormagander? I barely even know 'er!
I had to look this up because I didn’t remember a Gormagander from Hitchhikers… that thing looks like like they Tuvix’d a blobfish and an uncircumsized penis.
Weird having to specify the default state of something.
Yes, yes it is. But that’s the world I at least live in. Dunno how it is outside of America.
Mostly uncircumcised, except for the Middle East.
“Time is an illusion; lunchtime doubly so.”
Not again!
Where is my transparent aluminum‽
Oh man in the pit of my stomach I was thinking this was you announcing you were leaving
No, I don’t want to leave this place. It’s my favorite place on the internet currently.
One of my top places too. But because of you. And a couple others.
You are very kind. That means a lot.
There is a good group of Trekkers here for sure

You’re doing it wrong!
