Similarities Contest

I was talking to my roomie today. A slip of tongue, a wrong verb for beard sent me into enumerating similarities b/w a beard and a pet dog. I must say, I did rather well..

People take care of their beard and their dogs, both grow, both need attention, both are prized possesions, but ya.. beards don't bark...

I also realised that these were extremely general similarities, and you can find some similarities in any pair of objects. But, the very next pair of things I conjured, I could not find any similarities or relations. But, I am sure they exist, and I challenge all of my readers to think them up.

Moon and Fork
Book and Broom
Photograph and Beach
Snow and Mayawati

Get going!

Post as comments, don't ping me in Gtalk about it, please... :)

I am answering my own challenge....

Snow is as pure as Mayawati is corrupt, Politicians are cold and emotionless, like snow; Snow is wonderful in the beginning, but u hate it by and by... politicians go backwards, u hate them in the beginning, and tolerate them by and by...

@ Jhilmil, amrita, camilo:
Good thinking... :)

@amrita, There is no wrong answer, i just made up these pairs, since thy seemed impossible to relate... but everything seems to be relate-able in some sense to everything else... :)
