they all know one another perfectly with no inhibitions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>All Woggs are immortal, as far as they can tell.\u00a0 They can be injured, or even killed, but such occurrences are rare.\u00a0 They heal quickly once injured.\u00a0 A new Woggle is born (from either a male or female Woggle, parthenogenetically) only once every 1,000 years, and each Woggle gives birth only once.\u00a0 All the other Woggles take turns intellectually working with him after he (or she) is fully grown, which takes about a thousand earth years, and then a new Woggle is born.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When a new Woggle is born, the oldest Woggle leaves the planet, and goes roaming around the universe, which he does by teleportation.\u00a0 All Woggs are of the same apparent age, although some are millions of years old (like Chico) and some are only 10,000 or 20,000 years old.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Woggs communicate with one another telepathically from around the Universe, which is virtually instantaneous (that is, much faster than the speed of light, which they consider quite slow and tedious). \u00a0Their communication method occurs by folding space, which they do (they say) by creating controlled multi-frequency photon fields that bend spatial reality and link thoughts within seconds. \u00a0A similar process is used for interplanetary teleportation.<\/p>\n<p>Typically, they consider the mission of their eternal life to collect information and experiences, and transmit them to one another, and most especially to the youngest Woggle. \u00a0 Each newborn Woggle represents the highest hope of the species, and is treated with the care and near-reverence of a crown prince.<\/p>\n<p>They believe, or greatly suspect, that there exists a kind of \u201cUniversal Brain\u201d in which they all participate, and they \u201cupload\u201d their emotions, thoughts and data-gatherings while they sleep to the \u201cUbee\u201d as they call it.\u00a0 While they don\u2019t think that the Ubee. created them, they have a strong duty of allegiance to the Ubee, whom they regard with a kind of religious veneration, and believe that their overarching moral sense (which is powerful and provides an enduring code of behavior for them) is derived from the vast stores of data and relevant knowledge amassed by the Ubee from Woggs, and from other similar and dissimilar creatures throughout the Universe and beyond.\u00a0 They suspect, although they do not know, that all creatures great and small have a similar connection to the Ubee, although some of the creatures they have encountered throughout the galaxy are largely ignorant of this relationship (even though they can demonstrate to their own satisfaction that it does exist).\u00a0 They believe, in fact, that their entire meaning and mission of life is to continuously enhance the knowledge of the Ubee, which they believe also enhances their moral compass.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Since their senses of smell, vision and hearing are extremely acute, their individual sensory data collection is vast.\u00a0 After they\u2019ve \u201cuploaded\u201d information they collect about the geological, microbial, plant, atmospheric and animal life around them, they tend to forget it (after a few thousand years), and they can re-remember it by telepathically asking one of the \u201chomeland Woggs\u201d about a specific item they can almost, but not quite, remember the details of.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>They are all loving and playful with one another and the other planetary inhabitants, although not all of the inhabitants can handle it.\u00a0 They believe in good food, clean, cold water, play, research, data telepathy, and sleep, all in good balance.\u00a0 They sleep 8-10 hours, during which time they are uploading their day\u2019s research to the Ubee.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Chico suspects that the great ancient constructs of earth were built by a few itinerant Woggles, as there may have been a time in ancient Wogg history when a group of Woggs decided to wander the distant reaches of the galaxy, and reached earth.\u00a0 He suspects that these Wandering Woggs worked for and with humans to make the structures such as Angkor Wat, the Pyramids, the ancient and perplexing monuments of early times such as Stonehenge, the puzzling Egyptian and Mexican temples, and other such vast structures.\u00a0 The materials were manipulated telepathically, and shaped by the mental activity and shared, creative architectural planning.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Woggs can combine their thoughts in a guided thinking fashion just prior to sleeping and \u201cuploading\u201d to the Ubee; they use this combined, super-powerful intellect to plan projects as vast as interstellar architectural features, including the creation of planets and solar systems out of interstellar dust, and to do more mundane creations such as the pyramids in the Aztec cities of Tenochtitlan, Teotihuacan and the Mayan cities of Tikal and Calakmul.\u00a0 Chico points out that the many, many mysterious small function rooms in the Aztec and Mayan temples were actually rooms for Woggles, as they were too small for humans to live, eat or pray within.\u00a0 They were reserved for Wogg visitors who sometimes came in groups to be present during temple development.\u00a0 The remarkable astronomical orientation of the various pyramids and temples were planned by the Woggs, and based on their comprehensive understanding of the galaxy and the universe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chico, apparently a brown-and-white Staffordshire terrier (or Pit Bull), about 50 pounds, is not really from earth.\u00a0 He\u2019s from a star system on the far eastern edge, the other side, of our Milky Way galaxy.\u00a0 The civilization he comes from is very advanced.
