Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.

"Genefather Munglefard!"
"Yes, son of my son to the eighteenth power?", boomed the continent sized patriarch, his innumerable sense fibres rippling in slight irritation at the interruption of his 40,000 year nap.
"It's the god we assigned to galaxy 4189Glimp83 sir. She's reporting that one of the unjoined species under her charge has declared ability and intention to perform an unauthorised seeding!"
