b: my crazy uncle

What: "The joke is that Baltimore has a southern pace and northern manners," says Lippman, sipping wine in a Dublin bar while her husband entertains a sell-out crowd at the IFI.

a: Cell nucleus ~
b: city hall

What: "I guess you could say the cell nucleus is like city hall in that it is the main information center of the cell. It controls most of the cell or "city" by sending out necessary information for the cell to function. Also, the nucleus or "city hall" governs what can be let in and out of the cell sort of like letting the gatekeepers know what can be let in and out of the city walls."
