I am sure that we have all heard that Oracle started with a secret project 
called Oracle… but why is the name Oracle really applicable to this RDBMS?
How about this as a suggestion:

Perhaps here, we have an answer to the question, why does Oracle have 
everything in it, including the kitchen sink.
What better way to be a true black box than to include the kitchen sink… ☺
