Bopcanton is a god.

He takes the form of a very small, dishonourable tortoise.

Bopcanton created the solar system three hundred thousand years ago.

If you believe in Bopcanton, he will give you a free planet.

If you do not believe in Bopcanton, he will name a particularly small and pointless asteroid after you.
