Summary: Reference taken from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, this small leech like yellow fish was inserted into the ear and instantly you would be able to understand any language as it whispered the translation to you.

This on line encyclopedia allows users to add definitions and new words, making it a communal and universal resource rather than just the standard kind, in which the word is looked up and the definition therein stands no matter how out-dated it might be. The best part is that it is international, and has sections in several different languages!

Summary: When we had to gather food and water from nature, the water bearers would gather around a watering hole and discuss life. This was the central place for local gossip, and one of the ways that the word traveled from one village to the next. Over the ages we lost that part of our social structure. However with the emergance of on-line networking it has come back, and now the watering hole has come full circle.
