I didn't, of course, mean a pyramid or skyskraper literally. Animals and
biospheres are built as a pyramid, think food-chain with the predators
on top, depending on (food-chain wise) lower animals and then plants.
The same with each animal, if an animal cuts a nerve, it might not feel
its toe, but it will likely function as an animal anyway. But with a
computer, if it cuts a path between the CPU and memory, it will crash
within a microsecond. A computer depends vitally on (almost) every part
it's built with, i.e. skyskraper, but an animal is built with lots ans
lots of cells, fewer organs, and very few vital organs.

Not if the pyramid has a stable enough base. But if you mean here on MD, 
perhaps. The books are pretty stable for us, without them, we wouldn't 
have lasted long.

Stacks are introduced in this thread:
