World Of Moo 5.1.2009
“Life Evolved on other planets would not necessarily bear
any resemblance to humans.” p.110
Took a voyage through Life, Space and
Time to the Ends of the Universe, quantum
physicists say there is a parallel universe
for every imaginative idea, no matter how
strange; therefore
I am delighted to discover the world of
Moo, a world with only one-tenth of our
gravity, cold except during star-rise and
star-set, lifeforms adapted, curling up
in the cold
Two large eyes for seeing in dim light, aided
by a circle of compound all-round vision eyes
to see in bright light; purple gills on top to
breathe in thin air, mouth near the ground
for eating plants
Rubbing tentacles together to make a con-
versation, Moo-man interlocking a special
tentacle with Moo-woman to reproduce,
while she curls protectively around her
new offspring
Growing from a different tentacle; she has
the sweetest purple face, all Moo-creatures
depicted in shades of purple and turquoise,
the images are lovely - Moo-man and his
Moo-woman look adorable!

Universe” Dorling Kindersley,1998, p.110
