An explanation of why things go wrong with machines...
* There is a God for machines.
* This 'God' grants all machines a brownie point for every day it
works. Complex machines made from lots of components (simple
machines) therefore gain lots of brownie points per day (e.g. a Car!)
* All machines can trade in these brownie points for 'something'.
The bigger the 'something' the more points it has to use.
* For a car this 'something' could be "Doesn't start first time in
the morning" (for a relatively few points) to "Engine seizes on
roundabout in rush hour during thunderstorm" (luckily a huge
number of points).
* The upshot of this is that if you have a machine that has lots of
little faults then it is using up its points, however you should
worry about anything that works reliably as it is obviously SAVING
UP FOR SOMETHING BIG!
Here endeth the lesson on why things don't work correctly ;)
