Potholes, the universe's way of reminding you that no matter how advanced your civilization, the roads, like life, will have its ups and downs - mostly downs, in this particular case. These surprising dips in the asphalt fabric of society are where the optimism of road engineers go to die, alongside the unsuspecting suspensions of many a star-hopping vehicle. Often thought of as portals to other dimensions by the more imaginative and less informed hitchhikers, potholes are, in fact, merely portals to your local vehicle repair shop.
When hurtling through the cosmos at improbable speeds, one is advised to keep a keen lookout for these sneaky asphalt anomalies, lest your journey comes to a sudden and bumpy halt.
Potholes can be found ubiquitously distributed on roads throughout the universe, but for a premium collection, Earth's city of Rome is said to have a selection that rivals the holes in its historical tales.
Avoid the natural instinct to scream 'Oh no, not again!' as you descend into the abyss of a pothole. It does nothing to alleviate the situation and is terribly disheartening for petunias that may be growing nearby.
In a parallel universe, potholes are worshipped as minor deities, responsible for teaching humility and the importance of suspension maintenance to sentient vehicles.

The Zebra is a peculiar creature often mistaken for a horse in pyjamas or the result of an indecisive designer who couldn't choose between black and white. Known for their dazzling stripes, which confuse predators, fashion designers, and occasionally themselves, zebras are the galactic standard for standing out in a crowd, even when the crowd is, in fact, other zebras.

Venus, the second rock from the Sun, named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty, has long been devoid of moons, satellites, or even party invitations from the more popular planets. This lack of celestial company has led to various hypotheses, including the idea that Venus, in a fit of pique, once had moons but uninvited them due to their poor table manners and incessant lunar howling. The truth is a tad more scientific but infinitely less exciting – Venus simply doesn't have any moons. Some say it's due to its overbearing gravity, while others believe the moons are just fashionably late.
