Compact disk 

A compact disk is the long form of a CD. It's that circular thing with a silvery backside that contains all the music/movies/data/shit/porn that you downloaded from the net is usually stored. It is what you call the principle portable data storage method for the late twentieth century. A CD comes in two sizes, the larger CD has a capacity of 700 MB, or 80 minutes of sound, and the smaller ones have a capacity of 185 MB, or 21 minutes of sound. There are three kinds of CDs. PRe-recorded CDs that comes with software / music / data already burnt in. CD-Rs where you get to burn data, and CD-RW where you get to burn as well aas erase data. As of now, portable data storage is changing over to flash drives and DVDs.

Bruning compact disks can be fun. Either way that you take it.

asteroid 

Any rock floating about in outer space. There is a whole bunch of suck rocks floating about in outer space between the earth and mars, and this is known as the asteroid belt. When a stray asteroid gets heavily influenced by a planet's gravitation field, when it strays to close to the said planet, and eventually ends up crashing into that planet, the asteroid becomes a meteorite. If it does not end up crashing in, but grazes the atmosphere, or burns up in the aire itself, it is known as a meteor.

One of the largest asteroids is named after the gaulish God of the sky, Tautatis.

Mobile phone 

Is a phone that you can carry around, at the cost of making you impotent, risking blowing up gas stations, screwing up your pacemaker if you have an abnormal heart, screwing up your heart if you don't have a pacemaker, causing brain cancer, thumbscrew, increases the number of your specs, ruins your actual social life...
But it has a built in vibrator.

I need to get a new mobile phone, this one has become too sticky.
