Buying the New Yorker - Page 43

The thesis of Animals in Translation by Temple Grandin and Catherine Johnson lies in the connection between animal behavior and human autism. I can buy that. Lets go to the Statistically Improbable Phrases (SIPs):
nonautistic people, predatory killing, black hat horse, predatory chasing, high sociality, prey chase drive, laser mouse, seizure alert dogs, rage circuits, locomotor play, curiously afraid, assertive aggression, subordinate dog, squeeze machine, extreme perception, inattentional blindness, savant talents, smell system, dominant dog, squeeze chute, killing bite, scared family, slow fear, intermale aggression, [and] your frontal lobes.
This book is like a big flaming hunk of punk rock.
