I've been doing a lot of thinking lately, and here's what I've come up with:
Sourdough: A device made from flour and water used for cultivating natural yeast.
Bread: A balloon like device made from usually wheat flour and water used for capturing "yeast farts".
So based on this definition, bread is a "Yeast Fart Balloon".

Expert: An "ex-" is something that used to be, a has-been. A "spurt" is a drip under pressure.
Whatever. ;-)

People ask me how yeast works; I tell them that yeasts are single celled plants that eat sugars in dough. Then they burp CO2 and pee alcohol. Crude but true.
