An example from Your First Sprite:
What sprites would you make for topic map operations?
If you are graphically inclined and taking requests, I would like to have a sprite of a toilet with a flushing sound that pops up every time I navigate away from a search engine result.
Good way to reinforce the reality that the use of standard search engines is a lossy proposition.
Think of paying a firm full of lawyers who are all using standard search engines. With every new search, whatever they found during the last one is lost to other searchers.
Makes your wallet heat up just thinking about it. 😉
