Sarah Palin Is Like Annie Oakley
a: Sarah palin ~
b: Annie Oakley
What: "The gun-toting Sarah Palin is like Annie Oakley, a brash ambassador from America's pioneer past. She immediately reminded me of the frontier women of the Western states, which first granted women the right to vote after the Civil War -- long before the federal amendment guaranteeing universal woman suffrage was passed in 1919.

Whales Can Sequester Carbon
a: Whale ~
b: Tree
What: Very nice association stated here. Large trees sequester carbon, a lot of carbon, and hold it for a long time since they live so long. The writer applies the same idea to whales. They are large, made of carbon and live a long time. They would be very efficient carbon banks.

Layer On Top Of Smooth Layer
a: Graphite ~
b: sheets of carbon atoms
What: "Hence graphite is like sheets of carbon atoms that are stacked one over the other; carbon atoms in diamonds form a pyramid-like structure. The flat sheets of the graphite can absorb lights of different wavelengths and hence are opaque and black. The pyramid-like structure found in diamonds lack this ability and is transparent and sparkling."
