Maven, not to be confused with the Earthling version which is a build automation tool and about as exciting as watching Vogon poetry readings, is actually the name given to the intergalactic species of know-it-alls. These beings are the walking encyclopedias of the universe, the sort who always have to have the last word, even when it comes to subjects like quantum knitting or trans-dimensional macrame. Their brains, swollen to the size of a minor moon, throb visibly with the stored knowledge of every trivial fact in the cosmos. They are known to attend parties they weren't invited to, just to correct someone's erroneous statement on the mating cycle of the lesser-spotted Glarflax Beetle.
When traversing the cosmos, bear in mind that engaging with a Maven can lead to hours, if not days, of unending 'actually's and 'in fact's. Bring a good book, or better yet, a towel to signal your surrender.
Mavens are commonly found haunting the nebulous corridors of the Great Library of Excess Knowledge, located in the Know-It-All cluster of the Parallel Pedantry Galaxy.
Never, under any circumstances, should you challenge a Maven to a game of 'Who Wants To Be A Zillionaire'. It's a set-up. They always win. And never ask them about the weather unless you are prepared for a lecture on climate patterns across seventeen dimensions.
The average Maven can list all known shades of the color blue discovered throughout the universe, in reverse alphabetical order, while juggling three quantum singularities and humming the Galactic Anthem. Backwards.

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.
