Crime Metaphors
a: Crime ~
b: disease
What: "As with all complex issues, crime is suffused with metaphors. One common frame portrays crime as a disease, one that plagues cities, infects communities, and spreads in epidemics or waves. Another depicts crime as a predator - criminals prey upon their victims, and they need to be hunted or caught. These aren't just rhetorical flourishes; they're mind-changing tools with very real consequences."

a: bribing a baby ~
b: praying for the toilet
What:
"You know the rest of the song. The title to this song really be called " I Will Do Anything to Get You to Be Quiet and Sleep" This must have been written by a desperate parent or maybe parents with a colic baby. From my experience bribing a baby is like praying for the toilet to not get clogged (and it does anyway)."

a: Multicellular organism ~
b: colony of single celled organisms
What:
"A multicellular organism is like a colony of single celled organisms which has found a way to communicate and cooperate to maintain a self contained environment. Now everyone has heard of Hox genes but does anyone really know what they encode for? Well of course proteins, but these proteins bind to DNA itself. And when it does so it causes those genes to be expressed which in turn build new proteins. Its a chaotic three dimentional domino effect."
