On the face of it, it's difficult to imagine just how the Hukkahukka qualify as an intelligent species. On their home planet of Hukkagoffrkkabthi, they've created one of the most glittering, sumptuous, elegant, magnificent, stately, harmonious civilisations known to alienkind, yet they have an intelligence equivalent to a ten-year-old human. It could be that their bi-cameral brain system, which means that they have four brains, two in their head, and one in each foot, means that their brains are rarely in equilibrium, and a variety of mind-states can arise at any one time. Thus, when they laugh, they employ a lower intelligence threshold than they would when they are designing a new opera house, and when they do an intelligence test, they usually use one of their feet. However, when they combine their brain functions, they can solve the greatest problems which have troubled the greatest alien minds of the universe. Such fluid intelligence means that they can adapt to most living conditions and they have become adept at colonising the farthest reaches of the galaxy. Click on the picture above to listen. And remember; if a Hukkahukka ship picks you up, make sure you address the left foot as this holds the brain with the highest emotional profile.
