Bio Ethanol As Laetrile For Cars
a: Bio ethanol fuel ~
b: laetrile for cars
What: "Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) gave a disoriented "Apollo project" speech about ethanol and "flex-fuels" at the Detroit Economic Club May 1. Proposing an Apollo Project for ethanol fuel, is like proposing an Apollo Project for laetrile as a cancer treatment; ethanol might as well be laetrile for cars."

A Tennis Ball Analogy
a: Fluorescence ~
b: throwing a tennis ball against the wall
What: Fluorescence is the result of light energy hitting electrons on a molecule, raising them to a higher state, and then as the electrons fall to a lower energy state, they emit light energy that is of a higher wavelength and lower energy state. This affect is scene often on clothing treated with optical brighteners. To use a ball analogy, it's like throwing a tennis ball against a wall. The collision with the wall transforms the tennis ball into a basketball. The larger basketball then bounces off in some other direction.

a: human heart ~
b: water pump
What:
"It looks fine; it sounds fine. But if you don't look after it, if you're always running hot, or your system's full of shit, your impeller blades wear down, your bushes go, your gaskets start to leak. But it still looks and sounds fine, till suddenly one day you find yourself stopped at the roadside, boiling over. You open your bonnet and you say, shit, my water pump's fucked. "
