When it comes to planetary names and sizes, the universe exhibits the taste and restraint of a cosmic toddler let loose in a galaxy-sized toy store. Names range from the endearing to the completely unpronounceable, often leaving the intrepid explorer to wonder whether it's a lack of imagination or just a particularly nasty cold that's responsible for the strings of consonants. As for sizes, planets can be as tiny as the probability of a somersaulting whale, or as vast as the list of excuses an Earthman will make to avoid a family gathering. It's absolutely essential to wear your stretchy space trousers when visiting these celestial bodies – one never knows when a planet might decide to bulk up.
Keep a reliable Universal Translator on hand, or at least a galactic phrasebook to pretend you've got a clue how to pronounce 'Grjotlbjorn IX'.
A subspace brochure rack located at the fifth dimension's busiest cross-spacetime-continental junction, right next to the improbability drive-through.
Befriending locals named after keyboard smashes. You'll never get their names right and diplomatic incidents are tedious.
The smallest known planet is Flrgn, which is so tiny that its national sport is quantum leapfrog, played on the head of a pin with enthusiastic protons.

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.
