Question of the Quarter: Explain a database in three sentences to your eight-year-old nephew.

Saw this question on the internets and couldn’t resist. So as not to taint your thought process, I will write my answer in white, below, and you can mouse over it to see it if you so choose.

A database is like a bunch of egg cartons stacked right on top of each other. Each of the egg-holders in the carton has a name, and so does each egg. The egg names sometime change.
