4000 Year Old Noodles!!!

Hold on! Y’s locked herself in the astroparticle-analysis chamber and hung this big important-looking sign on the door that says “Solarship Galley: Do Not Disturb! Cooking in Progress!”

What does THAT mean? Well, obviously I know what a solarship is. I mean, I DID graduate from the DooFian Intergalactic Space Academy. But what the heck is a “galley”? And is “cooking” even legal in outer space?

How cool would that be, to see her getting hauled off by the astral police? Course it’d never happen, with all of Daddy and Mommy’s connections.

Anyway, I have way more important news! I just got back from my first super-extra-top-secret time travel expedition, which was even cooler than I thought it would be.

I’m not exactly sure where I went. Or when. I sort of forgot to bring the Spatio-Temporal Earth Navigator thing that Y designed for me — it probably wouldn’t have worked anyway. I figure I went back about 4,000 Earth years or something like that.

The place was Chi-something-or-other. Chicago? No, that’s not right. Chile? Nope. China? Yeah, that’s it!

It was totally wild! These humans were making these stringy things that I absolutely know were kind of like the picture on the package of noodles that Commander P’s been guarding all this time. I asked them what they were making the noodley strings from and they said it was millet, whatever that is. I was using Y’s AstroLingo Translator so I may have gotten it wrong.

The whole thing was so cool that I had to tell someone about it. Since I didn’t clear the mission with Commander P, I couldn’t admit that I left the solarship. And of course that little goody-goody Y would rat me out if I told her.

So you know what I did? I made a quick detour to Earth Year 2005 (not sure how I got there, but so what?). I found these archaeologist dudes and told them all about these really old noodles. They were so psyched they wrote this whole article thing.

Any human with half a cyber-clue can read it by going to this link.

So obviously, that totally beats this dumb “cooking” thing that Y’s doing!

Doesn’t it…?
