Aliens Fail At Human Anatomy  by OriginalSim

Ondonterron was about to search for the phrase "bugblatter" when he noticed a creature heading towards him at the rim of his valley. The creature looked weird, with its head normal size, but those eyes! They looked like the eyes of a Muopian Sand Beetle - entirely too big. There was also a small nose, compared to his own, which somehow looked big compared to the creature's head. Some sort of headgear was on, with two protruding flaps on either side, also almost as long as the creature's face.

The creature had weird fur, too. Sort of a metallic shine to it. Probably harder than hell to lick clean and certainly would not be too warm in the cold season. Plus, no female in its right mind would mate with something like that - she'd have to lick the babies clean and it would likely leave a horrible metal taste.

The creature came right up to him, holding some sort of box which he spoke into. Ondonterron was shocked at first to hear, after a short pause, a male child of his species speaking out of thin air, but quickly realized this was some sort of translation device.

"Sorry to intrude, O Ondonterron, the wise! I am Limnitz of the planet Jonnsbaals and I come in pieces."

"Right, fugga," Ondonterron replied. "You have a farty smell and I think your mother eats rotten flesh."

The creature seemed a bit shaken at that. Ondonterron had tried to speak the creature's language, based on what he heard before the translator spoke, but may not have been precise in his accent. He decided to speak his own language.

"That is to say, welcome stanger. What brings you here?"

The creature seemed satisfied at the translation. He spoke again.

"I come to you in peace. If you please, I have need of the items contained in that thing sticking out of your head."

"What? You mean the appendix?"

"No. I'm sorry. Of course I mean the contents of the Chalice which is embedded in your forehead."

"Yes. This golden cup contains an appendix."

The creature began banging the translation box and apparently cursing. "Sorry, it keeps translating 'balls' as 'appendix'," the creature said sadly.

"No. I am saying appendix, rather than balls, or testicles, whichever you prefer," Ondonterron hoped the translator would carry his snotty tone over to the creature's language. "The item now firmly attached to my brainstem is, in fact, an appendix apparently removed from an Earthly species known as Homo Sapiens. Wikipedia says so. And it would literally kill me to have it removed, so piss off you alien bastard."

The creature looked helpless and morose. This ended up being funny to Ondonterron, because the creature's big eyes and the headgear made his expression resemble more of a mating female having an orgasm than the sadness it was supposed to convey.

Ondonterron explained that perhaps a trade were possible. He needed materials to finish 'The Leap Of Flatulence' and he, Ondonterron, could supply the creature with some suitable replacement for the appendix he had assimilated.

"Look, piker. I have work to do. If you want to trade technology, fine. But you leave my appendix alone!"
