CSI and the Scooby Doo
a: CSI ~
b: Scooby Doo
What: "There's no mask at the end, but when you think about it they are remarkably similar. I was watching it yesterday and I realized that I loved Scooby Doo and now I love CSI." Hmm. What are the commonalities? They both involve crime. They both involve solving crime. They both both involve solving crime in a fluid stylized way. They both involve soling crime in a smooth stylized way that has little to do with reality. That's the down side. The upside is that they both have men and women working together to solve mystery. That, me thinks is the draw of both shows.

Woofy Writing
a: Adjective ~
b: dog
What: "An adjective is like a dog because it is steadfast and a constant companion. An adjective is steadfast because it is persistent in helping to describe the noun and give it a deeper meaning. It is a constant companion because you can't have an adjective without a noun to describe it." There are comparisons to other animals in the link.
