A Book is like .. a non-volatile, stable database that does not lose data no matter how many times you drop it, spill your beer on it, or close it incorrectly. Books are more stable even than Optical Media. Storage is only limited by the amount of space and volume that the owner can physically carry. Some storage units seem to last for years, and whilst the background colour or 'fill' of the pages may degrade to a kind of #F5F5DC beige, the actual data is still readily retrievable.
Books were used for storage before computers. The only reason computers were invented was due to the poor fire retardant properties of the base materials used in the manufacture of books (especially those books used to upset the tribal elders of religious groups) and because books were easy to steal data from. Books have also been used to store ideas for Movies That No-one Has Made Yet.

(grĭb′əl flănj)
n.
A Gribble flange is actually the device that causes electronic and mechanical devices to fail just a few weeks after warranty expires. Accurately tunable to suit different warranty periods. Perfected by Apple to require only a new improved OS every six months or so.
Formerly seen as a money grabbing device to benefit the manufacturer, now seen by Gen Y as no more than a friendly reminder that whatever the device is, it's about time we had a new one. In a different colour.

Acronym for 'Fuck It & Sleep In'
You know, the days when you wake up feeling overwhelmed: You have a headache. You've hardly slept because the neighbors were fighting/having sex/getting raided by the cops, you awoke early to the sound of barking dogs and vomiting drunks walking home from the club, You forgot to change your alarm clock for daylight savings and it went off an hour early, at breakfast time there's no toast because the bread is mouldy, no cereal because the milk has turned, no porridge because the rat in the cupboard ate it, and no chance of a McMuffin because you've lost your wallet. You hate your boss, the new departmental manager has been on your back for weeks, the customers are giving you the irrits, you suffer from anxiety from having to deal with the people in Human Resources, and it all just gets a little bit too much....
FINSI!
