As we all know, once upon a time, far away in the history of mankind, lived on Earth a kind of beast only known today as the 'eatosaurus'. It was like 13 metres tall, 5 metres wide, and ate a plum every single second. A very brutal beast, in other words, with no respect for other living things.

The most well known incident involving the eatosaurus was the famous infiltration of Hawaii. In 3251, a single eatosaurus managed to get through the toll gates that circled Hawaii, and entered the fancy island group. From the inside, it manage to contact several other eatosauruses, and helped smuggle them into the area. Within a single week, the islands were completely bare of all living things. Including volcano gods.

While we all know that those particular eatosauruses were brought to justice, and Hawaii was recreated as an exact replica of its pre-eatosaurus infiltration state from some tourist photographs, it still puts humans in relation to something far beyond its powers in hunger, and clearly shows how puny we are. To overdo things, one might also put some mice, or insects, or even mites, in comparison to eatosauruses and their appetite, and that gives extraordinarily results.

In fact, from those results, it has been proven that the moon, if being, as so many believe, a big ball of lettuce, a tiny mite would have no chance at all to eat it all up before an eatosaurus. Which is quite an eye-opener.

But the most common question regarding them is without dispute the one concerning their source, and goes in plain speech like so: "What is the origin of the eatosauruses?" No one knows for sure, but several theories exists, all with varying likeliness.

The most famous one is the Outer Space Volume Theory. It states that since the volume of outer space is infinitely large, it must contain infinitely much stuff. And then there just has to be eatosauruses. While it doesn't actually explain anything, it's still popular, and is often used to explain a lot of other things too. Like, for example, brown sofas.

Another well-known theory is the Retro Dinosaur Strikeback Evening, which claims that it's just a matter of some old dinosaur spores that has been preserved in some kind of rock and then let loose by some tunnel building, or something. So it relies on the thought that eatosauruses is a standard dinosaur from dinosaur times. What rather spoils this is that there exists no known instances of eatosaurues from dinosaur times, and, also, that eatosauruses, as well dinosaurs, don't reproduce with spores. And no relation, except in size, has ever been found between real dinosaurs and eatosauruses.

The leading theory in the western US, and strangely enough the areas around New York, is the It Came from the Depths theory. Also spoken favorably of in Japan, it claims that the eatosauruses originates from times much, much earlier than dinosaurs, or indeed anything else we know of, and that they have been lying sleeping and dreaming in the deepest depths of the world seas since the dawn of time. Whatever that means. Some groups claim that this is extremely far fetched, considering how few tentacles eatosaruses have.

The list of theories can go on and on, but as the 43th Queen of England said at her funeral party, just a few years before the eatosauruses were banished to Jupiter: "Their origin might be extremely interesting, but when you really get down to it, who cares? Let's just blow the buggers into space."

Which, in 3296, mankind manage to. The mankind-eatosaurus relations has since been rather unstable, yet few humans have cared. And why would they have? It has been calculated that it'll take a long, long time before any eatosauruses develop their own space flight. Yet lately more and more people have started to worry.

I guess they wonder where Jupiter went yesterday.
