Bound Together.....
a: Covalent bond ~
b: nut and bolt
What: "A covalent bond is like a nut and bolt: atoms are attached firmly together by a specific bond and if that bond is broken, it takes energy to put it all back together again. On a macro scale, it means once your plastic toy or tool is busted, it's busted."

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.
