title: CAP theorem or Brewer's therom in plain english?
body: <p>I have read the wiki, and I understand sentences explaining the  Consistency Availability and Partition tolerance but grasping  CAP/Brewer's theorem  is like holding a fish.  </p>
  
  <p>I believe there exist a better intuitive way  explaining and understanding CAP theorem. </p>
  
  <p>Any good text ? </p>
