Totally, or something like infinite probability drive from Hitchhiker's that would just send our trash to random other universes and timelines.

Which makes me wonder, are other universes and timelines sending us stuff? Is that where platypus' come from?

P.S. I'm not trying to say platypus' are trash, just that the don't fit in with our indigenous fauna and maybe another timeline thought they were and sent them to us.

Reminds me also of Aorist Rods.

The description of which in the book shows that not a lot has changed since Young Zaphod Plays It Safe was published in 1986.

isn't this the idea for The Witcher?
No?
