The man in the picture is Admiral William Adama, captain of the Galactica. He orders that computers are not to be networked together, so they can’t be hacked by the Cylons.

Holy shirt balls!

Something can be breadlike without being bread, in a similar way to how whales are fishlike without being fish.

The dictionary doesn’t dictate how words should be used; it reports how people use them. Consulting a dictionary is a way to find out how “lots of people” use a word.

Cake can also be in layers with ingredients inbetween, making a sandwich.
