A Bacteria Gang(colony)
a: Single bacteria ~
b: the kid who is trying to be tough
What: "Read the definition again and you'll be impressed by what it says - loose, single bacteria are like the kid who is trying to be tough, but doesn't have any muscle. So, what does he do? He joins the local gang (other bacteria) and now by sheer numbers and support creates a protective environment that gives him not just the illusion, but real, power."
Useful?

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.
