A brick can't fix itself in case of problems. Just grab a brick, put it in a corner of the room and you'll see. It stays there doing nothing, it's kind of amazing how little it can do.

Words borrowed from physical objects do not need to have, and in general do not have exactly the same meaning when applied to software. I would love to see a picture of your computer pulling itself up by the straps on its physical boots the next time you press reset. Bleeding when a process is "killed". Even something as superficially similar to real-world behaviour a "queueing" is implmented in a very different way in software, for the most part.
