I agree with the card assessment, and would further the one on stacks to say
- you can think of the stack as the window itself, and not just the
contents. Generally, the stack is like a smart window, and the cards are the
contents.

Then again - I also rather liked Dar's version (paraphrased) "Fill up a
shoebox with stuff, get visited by aliens, and there ya go... Revolution!!"
Or something like that.  ;-)
