A magnet and gravity can both perform a work function without any introduction of, or loss of any energy. Would you consider this an accurate statement?

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.
