In The Heart
a: Pericardial effusion ~
b: the heart in a baggie with extra fluid
What: The second big reason is to relieve the pressure of the fluid buildup. A pericardial effusion is like having the heart in a baggie with extra fluid, and if there's way too much, it can limit the ability of the heart to move and expand in that space -- a bad thing."

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.
