Parco Molo's Guide to the Pan-Galactic Black Market
Excerpt:
Entry #238
Standard ID Reference - Porcinum*
Widely regarded as the 3rd most addictive substance in the galaxy, Porcinum hails from the Sol system, specifically the 3rd planet Terra. It is frequently ingested by the semi-intelligent race known as Humans**, who consider it a delicacy. Porcinum is currently illegal in 73 Galactic sectors due its addictive properties and extremely deleterious effect on the cardiovascular systems of most intelligent beings.
* On Terra, Porcinum is referred to colloquially as 'bacon'.
** As many of my readers are aware, Humans are generally feared and notorious for their nihilistic natures because of their need to devour, absorb, imbibe or inhale anything that it is harmful to them. Incidentally, in some parts of the galaxy, Humans are regarded with faint amusement. In small pockets of the Pan-Galactic Fellowship the phrase 'as clueless as a Human' is used as a minor humorous jab due to the Humans belief that they are the most intelligent species on their planet, when, in fact, our studies have shown they are 16th.
