555J,
You are positively burning with anger, arn't you? Why?
To answer you question above. First, every woman has beauty. I don't go by all that magazine crap. When you look into a womans eyes, you see beauty. I don't care who it is.
As regards to being short sighted and only seeing physical beauty. You are missing the point. It follows friendship (which I tried to explain, but you shot down with some very strange reasoning - which further confuses me as to where you are coming from).
You get to know someone, her sense of humor, mind, spirit, what she thinks, feels, longs for, you grow to love her. This is why the statement I made above is true regarding physical beauty. When you love inside, the whole person becomes beautiful.
You hook me up with a 6 foot, long legged blond, who looks like she fell out of baywatch, who has a personnality of the grim reaper and she will have no beauty to me. Rather, she will be repulsive. Hook me up with a 5ft 2inch brunet, with freckles, large face, short legs and a bit on the chubby side, YET she is the sweetest flower inside, who blossoms when she is in my presence, as if I am the rays of the sun shining upon her... I will love that woman and she will be the most beautiful flower in the whole world in my eyes.
Have I stated clearly enough, what I am talking about it? I don't think I can explain it any more clearly here, other than breaking into poetry or something. Geeze, it's like relationship-101. Frankly it's getting frustrating, because I am being accused of being sexist, when you have no idea who I am, or what my standards are - to the contrary, you are being consumed with your desire to make women so close to men, that you try to hide the fact that woman are woman and they are desired as such.
How come Samantha did not find me sexist, but you did?
You confuse me sometimes mate. I'm killing this off now. No further replies in this thread. No point.
Regards to all.

You make Satan look like an angel.
All of the sentences underlined are fragments. I know it is hard for you to keep up with the more intelligent. Do you need to lie down on something? Maybe you should go back to school, were you will practice saying the alphabet, and all those other things you have trouble doing.
As for the analogy, I think it's about time I give you the answer.
Car is to gas as cheetah is to food (prey).
Car is to engine as cheetah is to muscle (strength).
Car shaft is to drive shaft (assuming it's back wheel drive) as cheetah is to tendons.
Which leaves us with foot.
Though the brain of the human, and that of the cheetah, are the ones deciding when and where they stop or go, the foot of the human applies the tranfer from thought to action. In the cheetah, this is through the pawls.
Car : Foot :: Cheetah : Pawls
Ta ta
Josh why not tires for the car being akin to the cheetah's paws? Both are the means by which they apply force to their environment to move themselves.
I came up with a different answer, so I thought I'd toss it in:
If the Human controls the car, as the Brain controls the Cheetah... and the Car uses it's tires to apply force to it's environment, as the Cheetah uses it's pause, I would think the foot in the car would be a neuro-transmittor/nerve-impulse of the cheetah.

I'm not going to give you guys an analogy, for the time being. Instead, try out this logic problem:
Imagine you have two balls of different size--one is half the size of the other. If you roll them down an angled path, which one reaches the ground first? Provided you understand that the smaller object is pulled just as fast as the larger, however, the larger one is bigger around.
The more you think about this one, the harder it becomes.

I am going to say the small one. If they were droped through a vacuum, they hit at the same time. But because they are rolling down a plane, it takes the same amount of force/gravity longer to accelerate a lager mass from zero momentum to speed. Therefore the smaller one will get going faster?????

I haven't the slightest damn idea. I've been trying to solve the problem for weeks. You see, the larger one has more surface, so it will take longer to roll 360° than the smaller one. However, the smaller one has less surface to cover ground. The two traveling at the same speed seams like the logical answer, but normally I just get confused.

Gravity. If you look at the angle of force versus the angle of light reaching the Earth from the sun, the is no shift (of whatever arc seconds 7min's at 93 million miles gives) in the force of gravity from the sun.

I asked: what is faster than the speed of light? (186,000 mps) The ANSWER: 187,000 mps, 200,000 mps, or 1,000,000,000 mps I didn't ask what travels faster than the speed of light!
! ! On to a new analogy:
Apple : Tree :: ?? : car
well an apple defines the type of tree it comes from... as a brand would define the type of car?
Here is a long shot! An apple is the tree expending energy to reproduce itself. The apple is created as a byproduct to propagate the tree.
Gasoline is the fuel to propel the car, exhaust is the byproduct of that energy.
Apple : Tree :: exhaust : car

Thanks, but if I thought I had the right answer, it would have been more fun to sit back and watch. I ruined the fun. So now it is my turn! I can't figure out a 4 way comparison as good as you do Joshua, so this may be hard, but here is one:
Intelligence --> Human brain --> "what" --> computer?

artificial intelligence?
The more I think of this, the more I realise it isn't worth it. Really it may be a lesser known fact, it isn't something obvious. Sorry enigma. Here is a big clue:

if air is "equal" to water... then i guess kelp or seaweed would be equal to trees... though that just seems way to easy...
K... here goes nothing....
as for the first analogy...
Intelligence is to Brain AS Trial and error is to computers
definition of intelligence is: the ability to learn facts and skills and apply them, especially when this ability is highly developed.
Computers have a very difficult time with this... basically they can only mess up and know that in the future when presented with that sitaution... the relplicating the previous attempt would produce the same result. Computers fall on their face when asked to generalize a result..... one of the main stumbling blocks of AI. Sooooo.... wat does the computer do? Trial and error.....
so... where as the human brain uses the complicated process known as intelligence... teh computer uses the notso complicated process of.... trial and error..
There's one attempt..
The second analogy : Trees are to Air AS "bla" is to Water.
Air is a bit general so... havin some issues with this one but here it goes...
Guessing that "air" is in essence.... what life requires on earth to live. soooooo....
Trees are to Air AS Oxygen/Hydrogen is to Water
Trees are essential to air as oxygen and hydrogen are to water
weak attempt but... o well

Intelligence : Human brain :: "what" : computer?
Intelligence is the result of the brain, though it varys from person to person. Intelligence is higher in humans than most other animals. Intelligence is what makes us different from other animals.
Computers don't have intelligence, they don't even have artificial intelligence. What do computers have that make them process info? What do computers have that takes them above other machines? What makes computers different from other machines? For number one: Hard drive. Number two: hard drive/the ability to compute, the fact that they are used by more people than any other machine.
A computer's only as good as its programmer.
Computer : programmer :: ?? : Human brain? The answer is learning.
Computer : technology :: ?? : Human brain? The answer is...evolution.
Computer : Hard Drive :: ?? Human Brain? The answer: nothing. Nothing can compare with the hard drive because the brain has no "little brain".
Intelligence is what the human brain makes...what does the computer make? Answer: the computer makes life easier, it organizes. The internet.
I am going to close with--I don't really think it's right because this analogy is so damn hard --Intelligence : Human Brain :: The Internet : Computer
trees --> air / ___ --> water
Okay, how about:
Trees --> Air --> Fish --> Water?

I don't know, this is why it might be wrong: we are in air, use air. Not to mention animals. Whales live in water, so do mollusks. Quite a few mammals are in water, crustaceans, reptiles, and shit.

In the computer one... the two biological (and computer related) responses I could think of were either:
Intelligence : Human brain :: DNA : computer
or

though I think I would go with the latter, because neurons seem more directly related to the human brain in terms of working...
on to the second one...
trees : air :: ??? : water ... trees release air into the atmosphere... what releases water? clouds? they take the water from the earth and release it (through precipitation) back onto the earth (free of salt, so that plants and animals can use the water; just as our air from trees is clean of most pollutants, dust, etc.)

I would have to object to this. Air is a mixture of gases (Nitrogen, oxygen, CO2, Argon, and many others in a very small quantity) within the atmosphere. Trees thus do not produce air since they only give out oxygen and CO2. Thus, if that is the answer you have made a huge error "THEY".

ya i was pondering that.... "air" is rather general. Me thinks its simpler though..... she said it was so mayb we all readin into it too far. Then again, mayb she was in a rush when she made the analogy in the first place we shall see!
we shall see!
Thanks Joshua, yes... I know... I was being broad because if I got specific, the answer made no sense, so I was referring to what we use of the air (O2 mostly, which is part of what the tree gives out through photosynthesis)... It made no sense (to me at least... yet) to break it down further...
btw, trees don't give out CO2 through photosynthesis... only C6H12O6 (glucose) and O2...
if I was on the right track... did you mean more specific? like water vapor (though that is just what clouds are made up of)... *grumbles*

I said nothing about photosynthesis. During the day trees produce oxygen and glucose through photosynthesis, at night, they use the glucose--thus generating CO2. They use up more corbon than they do oxygen--for their structure--so they give out more oxygen than they do CO2.

Water is the life support of...animals who live in water. Air is the life support of animals that live in air. Water is the life support for many plants, air for many plants also, including trees. Without air, trees couldn't get oxygen (then again, neither would we ). Fish get their oxygen from the water; both water and air have oxygen.
Trees are the largest plants in air, what are the largest plants in water??? "THEY" said this one needs general knowledge only.
It all comes down to this:
What is the relationship between trees and air? What is the relationship between water and air?
Air feeds trees--giving them oxygen when they need it, and CO2 when they need it. Trees feed air--giving it oxygen in return, and taking CO2. This maintains a balance of life on earth which without it, we would all die.
What is like that in water? Not a damn thing, that's what. Alas! My brain hurts! Krill.
Water produces the foods necessary to maintain krill--a shrimp-like animal. Krill feeds everything else in the ocean. I am going to go with:
Tree : Air :: Krill : water

Tree is to wood as old man is to wisdom.
The tree produces wood at all its life but its wood is more useful as it gets older. Same with a man, he produces green wood or green wisdom in its youth, but seasoned wood or the wisdom that comes with age as he gets older. Wisdom and wood can both used for construction when fastened with nails, i.e., solid fact. When the tree and old man die their wood and wisdom are worth nothing for construction, because the integrity of both are defined by the old man and tre. But both can be recycled to provide nutrient for the next generation.

Okay, I did say that I would accept something that was close, and I think there are a few really good answers, so I think I will say we have a winner, and its everyone?
But now for what I was thinking: Trees: air ::ground :water
Trees filter pollutants out of the air, and the ground (dirt, soil, or a bog or something) filters pollutants out of water. Roots definitely are capable of filtering water, and a spring is the source where water that has all ready filtered through the ground finds an escape route and comes back up to the surface. And of course a FILTER will filter water! That is silly, but I think it will work too. I can't find who said evaporation/condensation, was that you enigma? Too lazy to go back that far. I don't know if that filters out impurities or not, so I can't say if it is right or wrong!
So who is next at posting one?

ack! I don't think I would've guessed that... haha... and that was stupid of me to keep thinking of the ocean at first...
and yes, Joshua... Ignorance(Isn't)Bliss is my boyfriend... though he didn't know I was posting on this site until the day that he wrote that haha...

Dear They:
I was the one that comes with "condensation-evaporation"answer.
I can't think i another option...I thought that in my last post i guessed .
What can be?
Which was the closest answer?mmmm.
Tree : Air :: ??? : Water
???=fruit?-leaf?-cloud?-rain?-
Waiting for your answer

Samantha, it was "ground", so you were the closest.
Hey, is the winner the one who gets to post the next analogy? No, I won't put that pressure on you.
So enigma, was ignorance figuring it out when he said there was something special about you but he wasn't sure??? That is so funny that you were both posting here and he didn't know it. I'd call Ignorance IGNORANT for not noticing, but then, I was rather ignorant by not recognizing the subtle clues about you being female too! Besides, I probably wouldn't have a clue if my man were to post here....

haha... well I had just told him when he made the statement about there being something special about me... but he had no idea... I tried to hint to him who I was but he kept saying it wasn't possible that I was enigma and some other stuff... I pretty much had to spell it out to him who I was, but that's my boy
and despite him sometimes being a little slow on some things.. he definitely kicks my butt when it comes to understanding physics!

Lol, Yes Sir enigma is my girl she told me that she joined but i had NO idea she would get her post # so high so fast lol. I donno y i was so suprised... in addition to bein the best girlfriend (yes men, u can cease your search because ive got her!) she is a sharp cookie. I shoulda guessed she would rocket up in the post count...

Ignorance, I am not sure what happened, the link worked for me..... I haven't even checked out the subject this week, I will go back and see what is there. Just haven't had time to email you back! Enigma suprises you? She IS female... 
There are plenty of women on this site, but most chose to observe, not talk. I know I am just too agressive to keep my mouth shut, or not type...
But moving on, who gets to post the next analogy? I will do a simple one just to keep things going...
electricity : computer :: ___ : human

Are you sure? I don't want to argue too extensively in case I am wrong.
However, I don't think trees filter pollutants out of the air, I mean, what would they do with them? Chlorine compounds, Nitrogen compounds, and the many, many chemicals, are you sure this stuff wouldn't kill the trees? If not, wouldn't our houses be contaminated? After all, they are made of trees. As far as I know, trees don't have chemicals in them.
And as for the ground filter; I must argue with that also. I can't see where the ground would filter out the chunky stuff (I actually have seen it), but the ground really isn't a very good filter. Note that many water sources are contaminated around the world with pollutants, and these sources are under ground. Arsenic has contaminated an Indian village (in the country India), and the people are forced to drink it. It is true that water--if contaminated--will contaminate the ground, but it in no way is filtered. Just the same as the trees are contaminated (to some extent in some places, just like the ground) by air, but in no way filters it.
And I'm not being bitter for not getting it right.

Did he ever tell you that you reminded him of his girlfriend?
Electricity : Computer :: ?? : Human????
Sorry, can't solve this analogy (my brain is on strike).
If this is like that filter one I'll never solve it.
Let me come up with an analogy instead.
Mother : ?? :: ?? : humanity

enigma says (she is on the phone)...
Mother is to Child, as God is to Humanity
I may be anything but impartial.... but i like her answer
