A watched pot never boils > A watched proton never decays
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link > A long-chain hydrocarbon is only as strong as its weakest bond
A dog is a man's best friend > The machines that do everything are man's best friend
A fish rots from the head down > A fish rots from the guts outwards
A picture is worth a thousand words > A 128x128 .png file created using microsoft paint uses up the same amount of space on a hard drive, and so encodes the same amount of information as 534 characters generated by notepad.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away > Not taking homeopathic treatments (that don't work) can keep the doctor away, short of an accident such as a car crash
Never look at a gift horse in the mouth > Always look at gift horses in the mouth, lest they carry an explosive planted by James.
