"the flapping of a single butterfly's wing today produces a tiny change in the state of the atmosphere. over a period of time, what the atmosphere actually does diverges from what it would have done. so, in a month's time, a tornado that would have devastated the indonesian coast doesn't happen. or maybe one that wasn't going to happen, does."

Anytime I hear the word "piston", I feel the need to cry because the only time that word come into a conversation is when it's dead.
