In the darkest reaches of the universe, a Blinkwhopper from the planet Furslop landed her diamond-shaped spaceship on the moon Tubbysparks. The Blinkwhopper had two tiny hands and legs, a large, round purple head that was ninety percent of her body, and two oval eyes as tall as her face. She glided across the planet's surface until she came face to face with a native of Tubbysparks, a Bulletwhoop, who had three heads, three legs, and a green body shaped like a robotic ostrich. Immediately, the Bulletwhoop stomped up and down furiously and wiggled his arms, for this was how his culture welcomed a fellow creature of the universe. But the Blinkwhopper took offense, for in her land this ritual was a war dance. In a flash, lasers shot from her eyes and sliced off the three heads of the Bulletwhoop. The Blinkwhopper took the three heads back home as a memento of her trip.
