Shipkit, not to be confused with a ship in a kit or an ill-fated way to pack sailors into boxes, is the quintessential travel companion for intergalactic hitchhikers aspiring to a semblance of reliability in their whimsically uncertain travels. It's the Swiss Army knife of the cosmos, assuming that knife also included a towel, a babel fish dispenser, and an emergency pangalactic gargle blaster synthesizer for when conversations with Vogons become unbearably sober.
If you plan to traverse the wild yonders without a shipkit snug in your satchel, you might as well be waltzing in your birthday suit through the Lesser Magellanic Cloud. Not recommended unless you've got a strong penchant for celestial streaking.
Shipkits are commonly found at the legendary Hitchhiker's Bazaar, located on the flip side of Betelgeuse, just past the Infinite Improbability Drive thru. Remember, it's only accessible every second quantum leap year, during the Festival of Misplaced Socks.
Steer clear of counterfeit shipkits sold by disreputable vendors. They are often cobbled together from discarded parts of space elevators and sentient toasters with severe identity crises.
The term 'shipkit' was reportedly coined by a renowned spacefarer after his vessel disintegrated around him, leaving only his toolkit which, by sheer coincidence, had a complimentary mini-ship inside. He later admitted that this was a blatant lie but by then the name had stuck.

Assets, in the universal sense, are quite unlike the traditional notion of wealth and more about collecting experiences—and occasionally, rare species of intergalactic flora, which may or may not be sentient. For example, owning a piece of real estate on Vogsphere is often seen as a remarkable asset, mostly because it serves as a conversation starter about one's survival instincts, or profound lack thereof.

A blog, an abbreviation of the antiquated term 'weblog,' is a sort of informational pamphlet no one asked for, existing in the digital ether. It typically consists of text, images, and sometimes those moving pictures with cats, chronicling anything from the mundane dietary habits of the author to the latest theories on why the universe probably doesn't exist. A blog is to journalism what a whoopee cushion is to interior design: it can be surprisingly loud and somewhat entertaining, but ultimately people question why it's there in the first place.
