The Stock Market Is Like A Car
a: The stock market ~
b: A Car
What: "However, when in comes to investing in stocks, young people can actually afford to "step harder" on the accelerator (make risky buys that may payoff big, but have a high chance of failure)."

Php Is Like An Old Person With Cancer
a: Php ~
b: an old person with cancer
What: "PHP is like an old person with cancer. Yes, the fact that the person is bedridden and needs chemotherapy and has trouble getting around town and can't use an iPad is a problem. But the _real_ problem is that they are just *OLD*. PHP grew up in a time BEFORE CSS. Ponder what the web was like before CSS. PHP grew up in a different era that had a different set of problems, and no amount of slapping some lambda syntax on there is going to get rid of the baggage of the problems it was built to solve for a fifteen-year-old web."

"The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is like the conveyor belts in the Chococella Chocolate Factory because the conveyor belts transfer chocolate to other parts of the factory. However, conveyor belts would not help produce the exterior building (membrane production)."
