A Shoe Box With A Lot Of Surface Area...
a: Catalytic converter ~
b: space/time-ship Tardis from Dr. Who
What: "A catalytic converter is like the space/time-ship Tardis from Dr. Who (which looked like a tiny London Police Box on the outside, but was bigger than Parliament House on the inside). A catalytic converter might be smaller than a shoebox, but inside it's bigger than 2 football fields. The core of a catalytic converter is a ceramic oval honeycomb mesh. Because this mesh is pierced with squillions of tiny holes and is coated with alumina, it has a surface area of about 23,000 square metres."

a: digestive system ~
b: furnace
What:
"The digestive system is like a furnace, burning very hot or very cold. It may be running inefficiently by being bogged down by dampness or the opposite, excessive dryness. There are many clues to how we can improve our digestive furnace and thereby help with energy, mood, weight loss, improved athletic performance, etc."
