E Tu Linus?
a: Linus pauling ~
b: The Marlin Brando of Chemistry
What: Linus Pauling applied quantum mechanics to explain the molecular orbitals of organic molecules and thus how they bond with other molecules. This is a fundamental explanation of carbon bonding. Hybridization theory, as it is known, is taught in every organic chemistry class in the world.
Marlin Brando defined and perfected method acting and ultimately what became the standard to all actors. Their similarity is the large influence they have both had on their disparate fields. Many scientists hold Pauling's work in high esteem and many actors hold the work of Brando in high esteem.

Not That Straight Up Thing It Is.....
a: Virgin birth ~
b: a parable
What: "There is a dialectic or symbiosis at the heart of existence. The virgin birth is like a parable. It points to something valuable in life. It is not to be trivialized or prematurely resolved by what we insist is so-called 'reality.' What we define as 'reality' is always interpreted. It does not exist without interpretation. Christians insist that Jesus, the Messiah, the Christ, the anointed one of the lineage of David, is eternally alive not just as an abstract model to be emulated, but as someone walking next to you and me, whether we want it or not....It is this living presence of Jesus and the Holy Spirit for all times which the virgin birth is attempting to highlight."

Flavoring The Subject
a: A predicate ~
b: an adjective
What: "A predicate is like an adjective, in that it describes something about a subject. For example, in the sentence "a baseball is round", the predicate "is round" describes a particular subject (in this case "a baseball"). Because we have separated the two things out, we can then go on to apply the predicate to other round things: "the Earth is round", "circles are round" and "soccer balls are round" will, instead of each being their own sentence, be represented as a single predicate applied to three different round subjects."
