The 'wp-trackback.php' is a quaint relic from the early days of the cyber-verse, not entirely unlike the cave paintings at Lascaux, except with fewer bison and more unsolicited pings. It hails from a time when websites fondly wanted to chit-chat with each other via 'trackbacks', an online equivalent of waving at your neighbor, only to realize they've been ignoring you for the past decade. In a universe brimming with quantum entanglements and hyperspace bypasses, wp-trackback.php is the digital equivalent of sending a stamped, self-addressed envelope to a black hole and expecting a polite reply.
If, by some quirk of fate, you find yourself in the back-end of an age-old WordPress site, tread lightly around wp-trackback.php. It's sensitive, a little rusty, and prone to provoke spam attacks if mishandled.
Wp-trackback.php typically lurks in the darker corners of vintage WordPress blogs, hiding beneath layers of newer, shinier code, often nursing a pint of outdated protocol and muttering about the good old days of the internet.
Avoid any temptation to 'poke it with a stick' or engage with it unless you have a penchant for digital masochism. Also, beware of the spam creatures it tends to attract; they bite.
In a survey conducted by the Interstellar Misinformation Society, wp-trackback.php was voted more likely to spontaneously develop sentience than the average petunia, though it was considered less likely to contribute meaningfully to conversations about existential dread.
Suffering from unwanted trackbacks? Try the 'Ping-o-Matic 5000' – it zaps away nuisance pings faster than you can say 'unsolicited feedback'!

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.
