Ah, ok.
But in that case you should compare it to something from nature which relates to points and not cute little baby elephants.
I suggest bacteria which lives in the shadow of shark **** faeces. As we all know, shark faeces spend the whole day at the bottom of the ocean as a life support system for it's own shadow and some idiotic bacteria which lives only there but is useless to the rest of the ecosystem.
That is what you are referring to, right?
