Dr. Herb Larkooney of Fronkle II, Fronkle System, devoted his life to the
investigation of the Origin of Stupidity.  He never really got into it,
however. (Soon after his decision to study Stupidity he lost his virginity.)
His book entitled "Extremely Stupid Things to Say, Do and Think (During
Sex)" contains 15 pages, contents included.  On 14 pages he describes the
best sex he ever had.  His book became an immediate best-seller, spending
377 GAPs at the top of the "Galactic Chart of Readable Books."  Dr.
Larkooney died a happy man.

Larkooney's life impressed many people, especially intellectuals.  Many
started their own searches into the Origin of Stupidity, hoping to lead
lives similar to Larkooney's.  Most of them failed and were put into strange
padded cells for such a long time, that afterwards they didn't even know who
Garlop Dronglebweep was and why he ate all those light bulbs!

Fact is, every single university had a special ORSTUP (Origin of Stupidity)
department which dealt with the above mentioned matter only.  This happened
to develop the longest, least interesting, and most boring studies in the
history of time.

One single attempt to find out more about Stupidity was successful.  The
research was done by a human called Prep Holler.  Holler studied without
support of a university.  He researched, alone, his whole life, traveling
for years in time and space and wrote a single book entitled, Bah!
Dumbness!.  It is 29,642 pages long and is shipped together with the
interesting brochure titled "Bah!  Reading 29,642 pages!"

Mr. Holler claimed to have found the cradle of stupidity.  He even asserted
to have found the stupidest person in the universe.  He traced this person's
genealogy until he found a strange amoeba swimming in a yellowish-greenish
puddle about 13 million years back, which is (or was) as he declared, the
Mother of Stupidity.

Although he knew the names of the stupidest person and the planet on which
this person lived, he never revealed them.  He was afraid that it might
overthrow the balance of the universe if the inhabitants of the galaxy
suddenly blamed one single person for all the stupid mistakes ever made.
His theory states that if suddenly all the hatred, frustration, and rage of
the entire galaxy were concentrated on one planet, that planet would change
silently and irreversibly into an extremely unattractive, radioactive
turnip.

Mr. Prep Holler died a very unhappy man, as his book sold only one copy.
It is said he bought it himself.  Rumors say that the name of the planet is
"Arth, Aerth, or Erth."
