One of the leading theories scientists use to explain the universe is called "String Theory".
Physicists figure that everything at its core is made up of teensey-weensy vibrating strings. They are so small that Donald Trump's humble nature appears gargantuan beside them.
The most recent findings suggest that these strings come from a ginormous can of Silly String. The giant can is located somewhere "out there" and the strings are sprayed around from time to time by "we don't know who, yet."
"It could be God, it could be a bunch of nine-year-olds on summer break", to quote the sort-of famous physicist Brain Greene.
Silly string could also spill out from a series of alternate joke-shop universes.
This finding goes a long way towards explaining why the world is so silly, and why human beings make such silly decisions.
Scientists are also studying the possibility that the earth is really a rolled up ball of that skinny glue strip used to seal some packaging. I love playing with that stuff.
