In remembrance of the potatoes, here the presentation of the silasticarmourfiends of striterax of douglas adams
The Silastic Armourfiends were an insanely aggressive race who lived on the planet Striterax approximately twenty billion years ago "when the universe was young". They were extremely keen on fighting ? one of the best ways to deal with a Silastic Armourfiend was to lock him in a room by himself, since he would beat himself up sooner or later. They wrecked the surface of their planet in constant wars, and the whole population lived within bunkers deep below the surface.
In an attempt to deal with the problems their violent nature created, the Silastic Armourfiends passed a law that anybody who had to carry a weapon as part of their normal work (including policemen, security guards and primary school teachers) must spend a minimum of 45 minutes each day punching a sack of potatoes. It was hoped that this would allow them to work off their surplus aggression. This plan worked only until someone had the idea to simply shoot the potatoes, and the Silastic Armourfiends were excited about their "first war for weeks."
During one of their more unpleasant wars, the Silastic Armourfiends asked the great computer Hactar to design the Ultimate Weapon for them. The computer complied, creating a hand-held bomb which would connect the core of every major sun via hyperspace, destroying the entire universe. The Silastic Armourfiends attempted to use the bomb to blow up a munitions dump, but fortunately Hactar had built a dud weapon since it could not conceive of any occasion when the use of the real thing would be justified. The Silastic Armourfiends disagreed, and pulverised Hactar.
Eventually, after smashing the hell out of the Strenuous Garfighters of Stug and the Strangulous Stilettians of Jajazikstak, the Silastic Armourfiends found an entirely new way of blowing themselves up, which was of great relief to the Garfighters, the Stilletans, and the potatoes.

Die Weisheit des Worf's aus Star-Trek lehrte uns den klingonischen Schmerzstock als Belehrung im Pfad der Weisheit zu verstehen.
Die Jatravartiden waren und sind immer noch die natürlich vorkommenden Formen der Vogonen. Sie sind die Rasse aus Viltvood VI , stammen mit 50 Armen , die das Deospray vor dem Rad entwickelt haben. (Siehe dazu Douglas Adams per Anhalter durch die Galaxis)
Das Problem ist nur , das die Jatravartiden gar keine Schmerzstocklehre der Klingonen je erhalten haben. Ich hielt es für wichtig , dass diese Volksgruppe auf dem Weg zum pandimensionalen Wesen, dieser Lehre teilhaftig werden.
Die Klingonen haben die Kultur dazu erfunden, soviel ist sicher
Die Jatravartiden werden bei Douglas Adams per Anhalter durch die Galaxis wie folgt auf englisch beschrieben
"In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded
as a bad move.
Many races believe that it was created by some sort of God,
though the Jatravartid people of Viltvodle VI believe that the
entire Universe was in fact sneezed out of the nose of a being
called the Great Green Arkleseizure.
The Jatravartids, who live in perpetual fear of the time they
call The Coming of The Great White Handkerchief, are small blue
creatures with more than fifty arms each, who are therefore
unique in being the only race in history to have invented the
aerosol deodorant before the wheel.
However, the Great Green Arkleseizure Theory is not widely
accepted outside Viltvodle VI and so, the Universe being the
puzzling place it is, other explanations are constantly being
sought."
The klingon pain stick ceromony , part of the klingon hertage , totally different to this belief is described in the following youtube video
