Oglaroons from the Guide

"In one corner of the Eastern Galactic Arm lies the large forest planet Oglaroon, the entire "intelligent" population of which lives permanently in one fairly small and crowded nut tree. In which tree they are born, live, fall in love, carve tiny speculative articles in the bark one the meaning of life, the futility of death and the importance of birth control, fight a few minor wars and eventually die strapped to the underside of some of the less accessible outer branches. In fact the only Oglaroonians who ever leave the tree are those who are hurled out of it for the heinous crime of wondering whether any of the other trees are capable of supporting life at all, or indeed whether any of the other trees are anything other than illusion brought on by eating too many Oglanuts."

This is from the book by Douglas Adams called "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe" the second part to the Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy.

So any thoughts on this? I thought it was interesting. :) :) :) :)

I also created a region called Oglaroon so if anyone wants to move there its more than welcomed...
