The Mounth Is A Tail Pipe.....
a: Carbon dioxide ~
b: the human body's exhaust
What: "Carbon dioxide is like the human body's exhaust. Our lungs are the specialized organs where gas exchange takes place. Gas exchange means simply that one gas is exchanged for another in the lungs. In the lungs there are many finely branched tiny blood vessels (actually called capillaries) as we inhale oxygen-rich air, the oxygen in the air binds to the blood in the capillaries as they pass through the
lungs."

The Carbon/sugar High???
a: Carbon dioxide ~
b: sugar for the planet
What: "Carbon dioxide is like sugar for the planet - it boosts plant growth and makes the climate warmer - and observations show that our emissions are having a dangerous effect. In any case, our environmental problems extend far beyond global warming, and there are many reasons to reduce our impact on the planet. The realization that we are out of our depth may open the way to a more immediate and direct response. As I discuss in the book, mathematical models are powerful and essential tools in many areas of science, and they help us understand complex systems like the weather, the economy, or our own bodies. But we shouldn't rely on them to predict the future."

A One Way Street.....
a: Carbon dioxide ~
b: glass
What: "Carbon dioxide has a special effect because it is transparent to most of the sun's radiation except that
in the infrared region of the spectrum. In this respect,
carbon dioxide is like glass, which readily transmits
visible light, but reflects infrared. This is what makes
glass so useful in a greenhouse in the winter. Visible
energy enters through the glass, is absorbed by the soil
in the greenhouse, and then is converted to heat, which
is reradiated from the soil as infrared energy."

A Coffee Decaffination Process
a: Carbon dioxide ~
b: a magnet
What: "The beans are soaked in a bath of supercritical carbon dioxide at very high pressure for about 10 hours. The carbon dioxide is like a magnet and attracts all the caffeine molecules. When the pressure is reduced the CO2 evaporates. This process has the advantage of not using any harmful substances and does not chemically affect the proteins or carbohydrates of the bean."

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
