This thread is now about puns.
My own tale is about a planet far away, where a 3 mile tall, granite-like lifeform was discovered. It was clearly alive -- it breathed, had a pulse, and generated body heat -- but it never moved. It has legs, but never rises to walk on them. It has a mouth, but never eats or speaks. It has what appears to be a perfectly functional brain.
This puzzles the hell out of scientists, who do everything they can think of to make it display a sign of life, but it was all in vain until the day that a xenobiologist cried out in frustration, "How could evolution give legs, a mouth, and a brain to a creature that doesn't use them?"
It happens he's the first person to ask a direct question in the thing's presence. It rose to its full height, scattering the clouds, thinks for a second, and booms "IT COULDN'T"
"Great scott!" exclaimed the xenobiologist, "It only stands to reason!"
