It might be fascinating to note that the act of reading was in fact invented by the citizens of the elbow, a planet which carries a remarkable resemblance to the part of the body to which it shares its name. It was originally thought that reading stimulated the brain in such a way that it prevented the brain from exploding, but after further research from the Gotop Association of the Nakton Field, it was discovered that books were simply created as a shield between dangerous partials and the open-topped species of Plant Elbow's highly exposed brains.
