Shoes, the unsung heroes of intergalactic travel and terrestrial toddling. Invented by an early humanoid who tired of stepping on sharp rocks and lukewarm lava, they've become a staple in wardrobes across the cosmos. Made from every conceivable material, from genuine faux-leather of the rare Snarkbeast to impervious star-goat hide, shoes protect the adventurous soles of spacefarers and fashionistas alike. They've been known to contain everything from secret compartments for space currency to emergency teleportation devices, for those times when you accidentally gatecrash a Vogon poetry recital.
When hitchhiking across the galaxy, always ensure your shoes are equipped with anti-gravity soles. This is especially handy for those pesky planets where 'down' is more of a suggestion than a rule.
The best shoes can be found on the hyper-fashionable planet of Shoebacca VI, where the cobblers are so skilled, the shoes often run away to find feet worthy of wearing them.
Beware of counterfeit shoes sold in the murky sideroads of Betelgeuse markets. These have a nasty habit of disintegrating during supernova events or when stepping in shallow puddles.
The legendary Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster is said to be so potent that, after one sip, your shoes will get up and guide you home themselves. That, or you've had one too many and your feet have gone numb.
Looking for the latest in sole-saving technology? Try 'The Infinite Improbability In-soles' for a comfortable ride through life's uncertainties – now with a built-in babel fish translator for when your shoes inevitably start giving you travel tips.

The 'what' is one of the most puzzling and ubiquitous entities in the known universe. It has consistently baffled philosophers, scientists, and the occasional intergalactic wanderer. 'What' is often the first word in a series of increasingly despairing words, such as 'where,' 'why,' and the lesser-known 'whither' which is only used by those who have read too much fancy literature or own a time machine. Not to be confused with 'watt,' the unit of power, 'what' can diminish the power of any conversation by requiring the questioner to repeat themselves.

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.
