Three things

[fairest]

1) From Neuroscience: Exploring the Brain by Bear/Connors/Paradiso,

"The behaviors related to [the sympathetic nervous system] are summarized in the puerile (but effective) mnemonic used by medical students, called the four F's: fight, flight, fright, and sex."

Hee hee hee, I see what you did there. 2) We learned last week about eye and ear

Fight, flight, feeding and fornication.

[fairest]

A perfect alternative to the word they were trying to avoid. I'm baffled! :P

I know, right? Also, they used flight and fright, but not feeding.

From yesterday's New Yorker, oddly enough.

I want to know what neuroscience says when you're missing the last one. And anyway, fuck doesn't even rhyme. [/grousing]
