Layers.......

a: Document Object Model ~
b: a Photoshop document

What:

"A good analogy for this: the HTML DOM is like a Photoshop document while HTML5 Canvas is like a PNG. Photoshop documents have layers that you can interact with, modify, and remove. PNG images, on the other hand, contain a single "flat" file of pixels. You can't "remove" or "modify" elements from a PNG. You can only change the color values of each individual pixel."

a: Stomach ~
b: too many clothes in the washing machine

What:

"Putting too much food into your stomach is like putting too many clothes in the washing machine. If you fill the washing machine to the top with clothes, how is the laundry powder going to mix and distribute? How are the clothes going to separate and get thoroughly clean?"
