@nanatechnology:= the effect of design completion by banana gas - usually manifested as ripening, but in this case applied to slightly broken things kept in a drawer for months in the hope that they will work again when you take them out next year sometime. Batteries and floppy disks are examples of things you'd put in a drawer instead of throwing away when they don't work.

Example: *** note - this is cut 'n' pasted from my 'Healing Drawers' submission to halfbakery. jutta suggested I stick it here for posteriority. ***

Most of us who are into technology in the slightest have probably gone down the road of pretending this idea is baked.

Most of us have put broken items, flat batteries, non-working floppy discs etc. into a certain drawer we have. Where, along with all the other mixed up items, coaxial ethernet cards, pocket lasers that never get used, business cards, ancient CD-Roms and whatever else, miraculously the battery emerges many months later with a few minutes of life / the floppy is readable for long enough to rescue.

Goodness knows how this actually works - scientists currently think that it works by a kind of encoding based around the order and constituency of socks that have passed through the vortex, powered by a sort of cold fusion dissemination, using ball point pens as fuel. Or something.

Well, why not have an actual drawer with actual analytical powers, and hopefully the next step - resurrection powers. This could be achieved using nanatechnology. This is a form of technology that uses banana gas, to form catalytic actions based on the eventual outcome of the planned pattern of progress and design in an item.

Usually, this manifests itself in ripening - here, in our healing drawer however, it results in things 'getting better' in such a way that we all magically hope it would in any ordinary passive drawer.

That it does in ordinary drawers, to some extent, could be explained by the likelihood that you, or someone in your street, has had some bananas around at some point during the object's hibernation in your drawer.

@nape:= From Vietnam War GIs. To napalm, to use napalm, to completely obliterate something or someone. A shutout or totally wasting your opponents in a death match.

Example: The Padres lost 27-0. They got naped.

@naplash:= The violent muscle contraction that often occurs as you transition between sleep and wakefulness. Applicable to all such tics and twitches, but especially to jerks of the head after nodding off in a car or plane.

Example: I enjoy watching other people on planes suffer from naplash.

@Napnesia:= A feeling of profound disorientation after awakening from a daytime nap.

Example: After I woke up, my napnesia was so bad I couldn't remember the day of the week or if it was morning or afternoon.

@napster guilt:= buying a cd that you already have in MP3 format already because you feel like a chump for ripping off musicians

Example: I have napster-guilt so I bought the new Radiohead album anyway.

@napster snob:= One who sets Maximum simultaneous outbound transfers per user in Napster to zero, thereby not allowing anybody to download his MP3s.
