Random Analogies
Analogy Is Like Metaphor
a: Analogy ~
b: metaphor
What: "Analogy is like metaphor in that it associates two things that are essentially dissimilar. The difference is that the comparison is made more explicit by the use of words such as 'like', 'as', 'than' or 'resembles'. Analogies provide flavour in your presentation by painting vivid pictures that people can really see, instead of abstract concepts that are hard to grasp."

Detroit As Ex-girlfriend
a: Detroit ~
b: your most memorable ex-girlfriends
What: "Detroit is like your most memorable ex-girlfriends--sexy, smart, and soulful but conversely melancholy, violent, and loaded with spooky empty spaces where things used to be. Though you recognize the inherent disfunction, you want more - coming back over and over again and even dreaming of one day moving in."

The Heavy Lifting.....
a: Glial cell ~
b: the nursing staff
What: "Glial cells are like nurses. Neurons are like doctors. Sure, neurons are more qualified to get the electrical impulse to the post-synaptic cell because of their structure, but glial cells are doing 90% of the job by actually conducting the impulse. In other words, a hospital (your brain) will fail if its nurses (glia) aren't doing their jobs. Respect."
