Dilithium crystals are the universe's answer to the perennial question, 'How do you power a starship without violating at least three laws of physics?' These twinkly little gems are to starship engines what a good cup of tea is to human thought processes - utterly essential and steeped in mystery. Despite the name, dilithium is not twice as good as lithium; in fact, it is exponentially more useful and infinitely rarer, though it doesn't work half as well in a battery for your handheld communication device.
If you're planning on a jaunt to acquire some, be sure to pack a radiation suit, a universal translator, and a very persuasive expression.
Dilithium is typically sourced from the mines of Galorndon Core, where it's guarded by disgruntled Gorn and the occasional Horta just trying to make an honest living. Alternatively, check the pockets of disreputable starship captains in seedy spaceport bars.
Avoid any deals that involve trading your firstborn, signing in blood, or promises of eternal servitude. Also, steer clear of cheap knock-offs sold by intergalactic street vendors; these are often just cleverly painted sugar crystals.
In an improbable turn of events, a dilithium crystal once served as the chief of state for a small planet after a democratic voting machine malfunctioned. The crystal's term in office was surprisingly stable.

The phpinfophptxt is a peculiar specimen of cosmic data confusion, often encountered by intergalactic webmasters when they inadvertently leave their digital offspring - a .php file - in a compromising position with a .txt file. The result is a Frankensteinian mashup that whimsically displays server secrets when it's not busy being an unreadable text blunder.

Infophpback, not to be confused with a rare galactic disease that causes information to painfully spew out of one's backside, is a curious phenomenon native to the technologically overladen planet of Devtopia. In a civilization so advanced, the inhabitants evolved to communicate exclusively through programming code, the infophpback is the unintended side effect of gossip among the code-wielding intelligentsia. Rather than spreading rumors at the watercooler, Devtopians inadvertently compile and execute PHP scripts that disseminate the latest juicy tidbits across the planetary intranet in microseconds.
