    Words come from the dictionary. The dictionary is like a primordial soup of letters and every time it burps words come out and the oxford writes it in a book of the same name.

    it said on the news that theres this
    solar
    system very much
    like ours and its
    called 'some bollocks which was probably latin'

    how the fuck do they know what its called?

    did the aliens tell them?

    do all aliens speak latin or just the crap ones?

    the word 'pamphlet' is pleasant

    I wonder if there's a solar system called Pamphlet?
