I don't remember the exact acronym, but it's Binary Large Object Something,
or Something Large Object Binary.  Basically, it's just a bunch of bytes,
that can represent anything that can be stored as bytes.  A picture, a
program, a movie, graphics, whatever.  They are used a lot of times
to store scanned images.
