On Omicron Alpha Charlie Zulu Tango Thirteen and Three-Quarters, there is a species of very short beings, with hairy feet, who live in cave like dwellings located in the rolling green hills of the planet. They are called Hobbitoids. Each Hobbitoid hole is very comfortable, indeed, offering all the amenities of modern living, albeit on a much smaller scale. One could say that such dwellings are rather comfortable, but only so comfortable as one can be afforded, given the average height of each occupant. Each hole has a very interesting doorway with a large round wooden door.
What is interesting to note is that the Hobbitoids are unique in the galaxy because, not only are they the only intelligent species in the galaxy to have actually created doorways without hinges, but also they are the only species in the galaxy to have avoided the creation of footwear, and thereby avoiding the otherwise inevitable collapse of their civilization by the ultimate shoe horizon phenomenon.
Scientists have been studying the Hobbitoids for years and are still unable to explain why such beings would never bother to cover their hairy little feet with any kind of footwear whatsoever. At the present time there are a number of theories posited, but the most probable theory to date, is that belonging to the famous scientist Boris Boredofthesethings, which states that the Hobbitoids failed to create footwear because they simply never look down at their feet. As a result, it would appear that, for the most part, the Hobbitoids are also unique in the galaxy by being amongst the few inhabitants to be relatively happy and satisfied with their lot in life.
Of course, the rest of the galaxy tends to find Hobbitoids to be rather smug and somewhat boring, not to mention that they never remove their footwear when entering the house, but such opinions have never seemed to have much effect on their collective psyche ...
