Lombard Street
a: Chromosome ~
b: a street
What: "A chromosome is like a street where every gene lives at a precise address. When new genes went in like squatters willy-nilly, they could create havoc." If it's like a street, then it's most likely like Lombard street in San Francisco, which is very curvy and twisted.

Mystery Box
a: Electron ~
b: box
What: "We have a Quantum Theorist in our department; I chatted
with him a bit - told him, my view is that an electron is like a box,
that you are told you can NEVER open, NEVER know what is inside.
But, coming through holes in the box, we sometimes see a tail wagging,
and sometimes a paw slapping around.
We can NEVER know there is a cat inside (I told you that, above).
So, we say sometimes there are paws in the box
(and sticking out), sometimes tails.
ANALOGY: electron, sometimes wave, sometimes particle.
He just shook his head and walked away. So, go figure."
