Back And Forth....
a: Shortening sarcomere ~
b: movements of a person rowing a crew boat
What: "In many ways, the interaction of actin and myosin in a shortening sarcomere is like the movements of a person rowing a crew boat. The rower has to prepare her/his body for the power stroke, and then the oar is put in the water. Next the rower releases her/his energy as the person pulls on the oar and the blade of the oar moves through the water." See the link for a video....

He No Like
a: Wankel engine ~
b: garlic to my vampire
What: "It's not you. It's the Wankel. The Wankel is like garlic to my vampire. It is an anathema. I will now go meditate to regain control of my emotions. Live long and prosper. "

a: Semicolon ~
b: politely clearing your throat
What: "But a semicolon is like politely clearing your throat. The semicolon says, 'There's still some caveat or paradox that I need to explain to you. There is a reservation I have about what I just said-something more you should know about.' The semicolon speaks to the other performer(s), as well as to the listeners. What I wish is that we musicians added some new punctuation marks to our annotations of music-especially the semicolon."

a: GOP ~
b: Norman Bates and his alter ego
What:
"More precisely, the GOP is actually most like the central character who owns the motel: Norman Bates and his alter ego, “Mother,†a.k.a. Norma. Norman appears to be a polite, sincere young man, if strongly dominated by Mother. But so what if he's idiosyncratic, even eccentric, with a mother fixation? As a private individual, he has the right to be odd."
