"Attention Deficit"
There was something in the November 2001
"Scientific American" that had me chuckling.
There were four burglars who broke into a
veterinarian's office in Noblesville, Ind., looking
for the painkiller known as OxyContin, which
some people snort to get high.
What they actually stole was oxytocin, which is
given to laboring females to help them give birth,
and develop nurturing feelings towards their progeny.
The author says, "Maybe I'm wrong, but you've
got to think that four young guys with enlarged,
tender nipples and a tendency to cuddle are not
going to fare that well in prison."
He was saying that the burglars seemed to have
an attention span of three letters, in order to
confuse the two.
At least they didn't steal the OxyClean...
