Marking A Target.....
a: B lymphocyte ~
b: explosive dye packs
What: "B lymphocytes are like those brightly colored explosive dye packs that bank tellers carefully tuck into stacks of bills handed over to unwary bank robbers. Once the dye pack is out of the bank's walls it gets activated. Then it explodes and covers the rest of the stolen bills in the sack with a telltale fluorescent dye." The link is a very clear discussion of how the immune system works.

a: Heavy metal ~
b: ice cream
What:
"Metal is like ice cream. So many flavours, and if you take in too much too quickly it'll fuck with your head, but you keep doing it anyway, because it's delicious. At the same time, there are bound to be flavours you don't really like. I don't like Katatonia or Slayer, which is like saying you don't like pistachio and peppermint -- totally different flavours, still don't like them."
