The diet of the Orasaurus consists primarily of vending machine cuisine - at least during the day. This is due to their primal instinct of protecting their turf (e.g. database). They never wander far from it until possible intruders (e.g. developers) have vacated the area. At other times they may be seen at more traditional feeding places, but seem to prefer those with a nearby watering hole.

I have a simplistic view of things:

Knowledge = ideas linked by associations, purely intellectual in nature. You can do the word association game re. these, quite fun.

Understanding = experience involving the whole person, including movement, emotions and intellect. So to understand, you must go through the experience.

P.S. Are Orasoruses herbivores, or carnivores?
