Detroit As Ex-girlfriend
a: Detroit ~
b: your most memorable ex-girlfriends
What: "Detroit is like your most memorable ex-girlfriends--sexy, smart, and soulful but conversely melancholy, violent, and loaded with spooky empty spaces where things used to be. Though you recognize the inherent disfunction, you want more - coming back over and over again and even dreaming of one day moving in."

Good One....
a: Dna transcription ~
b: having sex
What: "Transcription is like having sex. RNA polymerase gets turned on by the DNA, and he's like 'Damn! I want to unzip those genes!' So he gets all on top of her and unwinds her." A piece of an online novel, I think.

a: blood sugar ~
b: balance beam
What:
"The perfect blood sugar range is like walking on a gymnastics balance beam. If you are too high or too low, you can fall off the beam and land on the floor. You may sway a little to one side, and then to the other, but the width for perfect balance is not very wide. It's easy to fall off, so you need to stay conscious and focused. What got me off this ride was something I never expected."
