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.
To encounter zebras in their natural habitat, one must simply locate a grassy savanna and wait for them to perform their daily ritual of 'not being lions'.
Zebras can predominantly be found on Earth, specifically in the Sub-Saharan GPS coordinates or any respectable intergalactic zoo where they are celebrated for their commitment to monochromatic lifestyles.
Avoid wearing striped clothing when visiting zebras, as this may lead to embarrassing fashion faux pas or, worse, a herd of zebras attempting to recruit you.
Zebras have their own barcode on each side, which, when scanned, reveals a discount code for the local safari gift shop.
Looking to blend in with the herd? Try 'Stripes Forever', the only grooming kit designed for both zebras and the stripe-enthusiast tourist.

Currency, in the grand cosmic joke, serves as the punchline for the economy, a system universally recognized for its uncanny ability to confuse beings across the galaxy. It ranges from the crudely physical - like the Ningis and Pu of the planet Vogsphere, which are not actually legal tender in most of the known universe, to the more sophisticated digital blips and blobs that make up electronic funds, often vanishing as inexplicably as socks in a laundry wormhole. It's all quite perplexing, really, and one wonders if evolution might not have taken a wrong turn when it led to beings valuing little bits of paper or even the promise of a conceptual nudge in a digital ledger over a nice, hot cup of tea.

Mpvloiphp, pronounced 'muffle-oof', is the galaxy's most enigmatic quasi-element. A substance that defies most laws of conventional physics by its mere existence, and indeed, by its extravagant nonexistence. At any given moment, it can be solid, liquid, gas, or a captivating interpretive dance routine. Discovered by the quasi-scientist, Lord Pifflewicket, during a lesser-known accident involving a particle accelerator and an unfortunate cup of tea, mpvloiphp is now the subject of many a pseudo-academic debate and at least three intergalactic operas.
