anthropomorphism is the word your looking for though symbolic metaphor through anthropomorphisation might be a more complete description. Now i think about it anthropomorphisation of part of a person leads to an intersting kind of meta-anthropomorphisation loop.
I'm going to go lie down now.

I bet your head is perfectly fine no matter how you see people write about organs.

From Library Journal Historically, all of the sciences were once united under the rubric of "natural science." Over time, they became fragmented and specialized. Nevertheless, Wilson argues that there is a genetic and neurological basis for knowledge and that all subjects of human inquiry can be reunited under the umbrella of "consilience."

I would but there isn't a flat surface in here that isn't covered in books. Sleeping requires a good half-hour cleanup first.
Read Foucault's Madness & Civilization. That made my eyes bleed within pages.

My Latin teacher in Junior High School gave me "Foucault's Pendulum". I later learned that he was also an SAT-prep teacher, and "Foucault's Pendulum" had most of the vocabulary words on the test...
