Poghril (Pansel System)
A famine-struck land in the Pansel system where 239,000 lightly fried eggs fell out of an improbability hole in a large wobbly heap, leading to the death by cholesterol poisoning of the last surviving member of the Poghril tribe.

"Two hundred and thirty-nine thousand lightly fried eggs fell out of it too, materializing in a large wobbly heap on the famine-struck land of Poghril in the Pansel system.
The whole Poghril tribe had died out from famine except for one last man who died of cholesterol poisoning some weeks later."— The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Chapter 9
Poghril is a famine-struck land in the Pansel system, and the ancestral home of the extinct Poghril tribe.
The Famine & The 239,000 Lightly Fried Eggs
For generations, the land of Poghril suffered from catastrophic ecological blight and starvation that gradually wiped out the indigenous Poghril tribe until only a single living tribesman remained.
When the Heart of Gold's Infinite Improbability Drive tore a microscopic hole across millions of light-years of the Galaxy while rescuing Ford Prefect and Arthur Dent:
- The Improbable Delivery: Alongside paper hats, party balloons, and seven three-foot-high market analysts who fell into deep space, two hundred and thirty-nine thousand lightly fried eggs fell out of the closing rupture and materialized in a large wobbly heap directly on the famine-struck land of Poghril.
- The Final Irony: Having survived the famine that killed the rest of his people, the last man of the Poghril tribe died of cholesterol poisoning some weeks later.
