Life, the Universe etc.
Some people believe that the whole Universe is a figment of the imagination - nothing is real, and none of this is happening. Some people believe that the the world, and indeed the Universe was created by, well, a creator in some way or another.
Strangely the method by which he/she created it has a lot to do with various bodily functions depending on your belief system. It may have been caused by a by-product of 'the act that makes you go blind', or forcibly ejected from a nose, or other bodily cavity, or maybe created more artistically:
Perhaps woven from strands of ethereal cobwebs of the giant spider-like beings of Hrgothrza, or from a handful of space dust by the Mighty Frrpt. Then there are those who believe it has to do with a giant snake, goat or turtle.

The world might be an egg laid by a gigantic rainbow serpent, who then
slithered over the earth giving it shape and form. Or maybe it is on a saddle on the back of a horse or goat, or carried on the back of an infinite number of turtles, each standing on one bigger.
However, what about the Giant Multiverse Butterfly? As the illustration shows, this lepidopteral phenomena is capable of carrying myriad universes:
Each one occupying a mere part of a scale, on part of one of the wings of this magnificent creature. There are so many, so closely packed that it's almost impossible to see them.....
Or maybe the universe is a tiny micoscopic thing on a slide in a laboratory
somewhere in a much larger universe. Could there be a universe that sits beside ours, linked by doors and windows, if only we could find them?

Most importantly of all, is there a really good restaurant at the end of it? Maybe it's all a figment of someone's imagination, and if they stop thinking about it, it will cease to exist?
Maybe it's in a box with a giant cat that's getting really really pissed off with the person that keeps shutting it in there.
The possibilities are endless, but the reality is most likely that simultaneously absolutely everyone and absolutely no-one is right.
