Tip To Tip?
a: Wheel base ~
b: ski length
What: "Yeah but reach doesn't tell you how a bike is going to feel at speed. Reach is like mount point, and wheelbase is like ski length. Reach is just your tip. There's a whole 'nother piece of the thing behind you. You can fuck around with reach and mount points to a degree but all that still depends on what you have on the riding surface, how much effort it takes to turn, how it's going to move over terrain, and what it's going to feel like in the air."

a: Protein folding ~
b: a drunk trying to parallel park
What: "Vijay has said that protein folding is like a drunk trying to parallel park a car so here the one who had made most progress was picked as basis for the new Generation. The less successful parkers were added into statistics and their progress was.. well.. canceled. All the new Runs/Clones started from the point where that fastest Run/Clone of the previous Generation had reached. "

a: contemporary America ~
b: a koan
What:
Mr. Prothero suggests that contemporary America is like what Zen Buddhism calls a koan , a paradoxical riddle. "That riddle is not, as Ms. Eck's subtitle goes, 'How a "Christian Country" Has Become the World's Most Religiously Diverse Nation.' It is instead how America has managed to become both a Christian country and a multireligious society at the same time."
