welding
"Welding is like making a grilled cheese sandwich," explained Moore, "The melting of cheese is like the melting of the materials; it's making everything become one."
"TIG welding is like knitting by hand, MIG welding (Metal Inert Gas, explained below) is like stitching with a sewing machine. This should not be a problem on Model A's since it is unlikely you are going to be laying down miles of weld, or have to have all the welding done by quitting time today. "
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.
