There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly
what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear
and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

There is another which states that this has already happened.


In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people
very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.
