The dluphp, pronounced 'duh-loop-fuh' for those who care about such trivialities as phonetics, is an intergalactic phenomenon that has researchers, philosophers, and the occasional lost tourist scratching their heads - or whatever they have that passes for heads. Rarely observed, the dluphp is said to be both everywhere and nowhere, like the probability of a successful hyperspace jump or a politician's promises.
If you're aiming to catch a glimpse of the elusive dluphp, it's essential to not try to find it. In fact, the less you try, the more likely you are to stumble upon it—or trip over it—in your daily meanderings through the cosmos.
Dluphps are rumored to frolic in the wild, uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy. They may also appear in the long-term parking lot of the Betelgeuse spaceport, waiting patiently for owners who likely forgot where they parked.
One should avoid expecting too much from a dluphp encounter. Anticipation tends to scare them off, as does the use of the word 'moist,' a linguistic peculiarity they find particularly off-putting.
A fun fact about dluphps—they are the only known entities in the universe that can sing the Betelgeusian National Anthem backwards, in a delightful four-part harmony, without the aid of autotune.
Feeling unprepared for your potential dluphp encounter? Don't panic! Just purchase the patented Dluphp Detector Mark II, now with improved indifference sensors. It's just as unlikely to help you as anything else, but it's shiny!

Jlexphp, not to be mistaken with a type of complex sneeze, is actually the lesser-known cousin of the Babel fish's digital interpreter. Known for its uncanny ability to convert incomprehensible alien syntax into moderately less incomprehensible web code, it is believed to have evolved from a coffee spill on a programmer's keyboard that was struck by lightning at precisely 42 seconds past 4:20 PM. It is only visible to those who have consumed at least three pints of the Galactic Gargle Blaster or have a master's degree in computer science, which are roughly equivalent states of mind.

Antphp, not to be confused with its distant cousin the earthbound ant or the ubiquitous PHP programming language, is the remarkable result of a curious celestial event in which a colony of digital insects evolved to survive in the harsh environment of a low-orbit server farm. Antphp creatures are known for their diligence in data farming and their peculiar habit of hoarding deprecated code snippets, which they worship as divine relics.
