What: "I was able to explain to them that praying to Buddha is like trying to make a phonecall to a number that does not exist. Buddha was nothing more than a man with no authority or power over any aspect of life."

What: "I think that dealing with government bureaucracies is like dealing with your spouse. It's easier to tiptoe into bed at 3 am after a night out with the boys then it is to turn on the lights and argue with her about your right to go out with your buddies. After 21 years with my wife I have learned that a little creativity and imagination goes a lot further towards me advancing my cause then does a head to head battle. I think the same logic works here. Just my 2 cents."

What: "A carbohydrate is like a piece of paper. You put it in the paper and it burns up quickly and to keep the fire burning more paper is needed quickly. Fat is like a log. It burns smoothly, steady, and for a much longer period of time."

What:

"The retina is like a sheet of cellophane attached to the entire back wall of the eye. The tears usually occur in the periphery where the gel may be tugging on it. If a tear occurs, then fluid inside the eye can travel through the tear and track between the retina and the back wall of the eye thereby separating the retina off the back wall of the eye. This is called a retina detachment. Wherever the retina is detached there is no vision. Since this usually occurs first in the periphery it may be experienced as a total loss of vision in the peripheral field of view as if a curtain is being pulled across the vision from the side and it may advance across the center of vision."
