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.

Superheroes, the universe's answer to the ever-present question, 'Who will save us now?' often dressed in spandex, which is a textile with the uncanny ability to simultaneously shrink-wrap one's dignity along with their body. These beings of immense power, questionable fashion choices, and often-complicated backstories, grace various galaxies with their antics of morality and muscle. They are known for their unique abilities, such as flying without the benefit of an Electronic Thumb, seeing through solid objects with less radiation than a microwave burrito, and lifting objects that would make a Vogon Constructor Fleet feel a bit inadequate.

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.
