The sitemapxml, often mistaken for an exotic species of flatworm, is in fact a roadmap for the cybernetic superhighways that crisscross the more civilized parts of the internet. It's about as exciting as watching paint dry, if the paint were composed of hyperlinks and the drying process involved indexing by robotic spiders from search engine worlds. Sitemapxmls are essential to the structure of the web, providing a sort of directory for these spiders so they don't get lost and start indexing space-time anomalies instead of websites.
When journeying through the internet's vast expanses, it's best to keep a sitemapxml in your digital back pocket. It's like having a highly organized hitchhiker's thumb: it might not get you a ride, but it'll point you in a direction that likely won't lead to an abrupt and alarming 404 Error.
The sitemapxml can often be found lounging at the bottom of web pages, sipping on cups of cached data, hidden behind a discreet link that reads 'Sitemap.' Alternatively, one can directly summon it by adding '/sitemap.xml' at the end of a website's domain as if reciting an incantation.
Avoid outdated or poorly maintained sitemapxmls, for they can lead you down the twisted alleyways of the internet to dead-ends, outdated content, or even to the lair of the dreaded 301 Moved Permanently monster.
In a surprising display of digital evolution, a rare subspecies of sitemapxml has been observed developing rudimentary social skills, allowing it to engage in small talk with nearby cookies. Scholars remain baffled.

The Towel, in interstellar travel, is arguably the most massively useful thing an intergalactic hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value - you can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapors; sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a mini-raft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for hand-to-hand combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or to avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (a mind-bogglingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you – daft as a brush, but very ravenous); and of course, you can dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.

Borgon poetry is to poetry what a sledgehammer is to egg cracking – effective yet inadvisably overzealous. Renowned across galaxies for its ability to induce both existential dread and a peculiar desire to purchase earplugs, Borgon poetry is the auditory equivalent of a supernova confined to a broom cupboard. Its meter is so irregular it could provoke a mathematician into a nervous breakdown, and its rhyme scheme appears to have been modeled after the flight path of a drunken Gagrakackan Stink Beetle.
