Thai food, a culinary concoction so complex in flavors that many believe it was devised by a committee of aromatically obsessed aliens from the V'Ger region, where taste buds are said to cover their entire body. Each dish is a nuanced symphony of spicy, sour, sweet, and salty, with a dash of umami for good measure - which earthlings tell apart by which part of their mouth feels like it's traveling through hyperspace. Indeed, one can expect their palate to embark on a journey more thrilling than bypassing the Vogon constructor fleet on a Thursday afternoon.
Should one wish to undergo the galactic rite of passage that is consuming Thai food, it is advised to keep a towel handy. Not for the usual reasons, but to dab the inevitable sweat from one's brow.
Authentic Thai food can be found on Earth, specifically in Thailand - the clue is in the name - but also in the Betelgeuse trading colonies, where it is served with a side of zero-gravity sticky rice.
Travelers should avoid eating Kaeng Phet Pet Yang whilst wearing a white shirt, as the red curry has been known to send vibrant projectiles into orbit around one's attire with the slightest disturbance of space-time (or a sneeze).
The popular Thai dessert 'Mango Sticky Rice' was once used as a temporary adhesive to seal hull breaches in the small cargo ships of the Gaseous Anomalies Guild. It also doubles as a delightful treat.
After surviving the spiciness of Thai cuisine, cool your jets with Zaphod's Zero-Zest Throat Lozenges - the preferred choice for the discerning galactic traveler's singed esophagus.

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.
