So much is clear to me now about how computers work. Courtesy of the White House and their incredible missing Attorney Purge Scandal emails, I can now present a new, fascinating computer fact:

Did you know that emails actually go to another universe when they leave your machine and show up on another one?

"What we have done has been forthcoming, honest," spokeswoman Dana Perino said. "We don’t have an idea on the universe of the number of emails that were lost. I went through the small slice of the universe of the emails that could potentially have been there, but truly, we just don’t know enough yet."

Also, RNC lawyers say, it has become apparent that a rag-tag group of "pixel pixies" actually paint the backside of your screen, then erase it when you turn off the monitor.
