The Beginning of beginning!

21286875616473 years ago, Blopduplop (‘Earth’ as we know it today) was like a ball of water. Humans had not named it thus. First, there was no such thing as Land then. Second, there was only water. And third, you know how difficult it is for humans to speak under water. It was actually done by a group of renegade Grrrbowow planet inhabitants who happened to stop by the solar system during one of their drunken drives through the intergalactical highway, G-63. It would not require einsteinish intuition to guess that the highways then were no better than they do exist in Arizona today – right, it was difficult to find a rest area for millions of light years and more so, it was not at all safe to pee by the roadside (or the empty space, in this case). Oh no, not because of fear of any highway police but because of a phenomenon of nuclear fission in empty space which converted uric acid to highly fissile Plutonium-235, ensuring that the one who did it never did it again (!) – The most ancient scientific phenomenon known to the Universe’s creatures which ensures that even today our astronauts do not take liquid food when they are out there!
So there it was; the Grrrbowowscions stopped by a huge big asteroid and eased up on its surface. While they eased themselves, they whiled their time by throwing pebbles (meteorites) on a nearby planetary water body – the first pebble touched the surface of water and drowned with the sound - Blop…. Dup…. lop! And hence, they called the water body as even our forefathers never knew - Blopduplop! That was the first time any alien creature had put eyes upon Earth – A historic event that had since gone unrecorded!
Actually, one of the reasons this name wasn’t recorded in the annals of history was because it didn’t last long enough. While the GBWscions were at it, the asteroid lost its balance and plunged through the atmosphere of the Blopduplop with a shattering sound and splashed into the ocean – ERRRRRR……THHHHHHHHHHHHH! The creatures of Blopduplop had never heard a sound like that in the placid waters that surrounded them. For them, this accident was an audible as well as a historical revelation. They identified that asteroid with the sound it made – ERRRTHHH, which was later abridged and edited to EARTH to include the “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA” which the GBWscions had shreaked while falling through the atmosphere and losing their memory, in that devastating accident. Yes, the GBWscions had lost their memory. They had forgotten almost everything about themselves and even the name that they had given to this planet minutes ago – Blopduplop. When the Blopduplop(not relevant any more)ians came up and asked the GBWscions who they were, they tucked their tails behind and said – Grrrr…. Bow… Wow!!! Hence, began the story of the GBWscions on the planet earth. The water inhabitants came to inhabit the Asteroid (‘Land’, as we call it now) and treated the GBWscions with great love and patronage. But unfortunately, they could not bring their memory back.

The GBWscions are still amongst us. They still run around roads and streets and highways (not intergalactical anymore) and look for fire hydrants and electric poles to do what their forefathers had done before landing upon Earth – as a token of respect to them. And even now when you go near them, they duck down and proudly tell you about the planet of their origin – Grrrr…. Bow… Wow! Present day humans know them by their various names on this planet – Dogs, canines, Scooby Doo etc.
