The answer to the latter question is straightforward (and has already been provided by Ms. Bunting), but the former could be an interesting question to explore. | |

A case in point is that parts of the DNA sequence were thought to be 'junk' until their purpose was understood. Similarly with junk mail – you might say "hey this one is what I've been looking for". There is junk in my attic, but it is not trash until I clear it out. | |
