Reform Judaism Is Like A Kiss Cover Band
a: Reform judaism ~
b: a KISS Cover Band
What: "The audience going to see the cover band knows the guy in the platform heels isn't Gene Simmons. But he doesn't need to be-their experience is virtually the same. Similarly, a Reform Jew might not believe that Moses parted the Red Sea, but that doesn't mean God didn't lead his chosen people out of Egypt, or that he doesn't have a promise to them...it just means some of the pyrotechnics surrounding the message have been scaled back a bit."

They Got All The Blood
a: New York ~
b: a blood-sucking leech
What: "Anyhow, New York is like a blood-sucking leech so huge it killed the cow. What is left for the "financial services industry" to steal? Try driving out of New York for a day, if you have the guts, and drive around some of the ruined towns and former industrial base of America. Not far from New york there are entire towns that are boarded up that once were vital and productive, and brought in important international exchange. You know, the stuff we can trade fro oil so we don't die. That stuff. Those towns were killed by the "financial services industry" of New York, because they get a small premium every time they kill an American company or force it offshore."

Too Big Doesn't Hurt
a: Octane rating ~
b: shoe size
What: "I just want to add that In some High mileage engines, excessive carbon builds up in the combustion chamber making it slightly smaller, thereby raising the compression ratio. This can slightly increase octane requirements. Basically, Octane rating is like a shoe size. Buy the right size. A bigger one wont hurt you, but it wont help you in any way."

a: Melanocytes ~
b: little factories
What:
"Melanocytes are like little factories churning out brown pigment granules, which is the pigment in our skin and they happen in a patchy way, rather than all over. If it happens evenly all over, you just get a tan right (but you're, hopefully, not tanning). But if it happens in a patchy way then you get blotchiness, and we all hate that. "
