An Egg Shaped Tumor......
a: A sarcoma ~
b: plastic Easter egg filled with sprinkle
What: "How she explained it to me," Nikki reports, "is that a sarcoma is like a plastic Easter egg filled with sprinkles. The egg is the tumor and the sprinkles are the cancer cells. The doctor's objective is to remove the egg without letting any of the sprinkles out, something that is apparently very difficult to do."

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.
