Skinner is the MAN!!! HAAAAAAAA.....what a brilliant dude this guy was. He played with pigeons and rats his whole life and wrote volumes of boring books about it...thats awesome! He put his daughter in an airtight but airfilled enclosed crib. He formed one of the basic theories that explains virtually any behavior. He was one of the most brilliant minds in psychology and in the last month of his life, he was awarded for his work by the APA...after which he proceeded to slam the organization for its sudden focus on cognitive psych and moving away from the observable this radical behaviorist found to be the crux of study. SoI raise my Skinner Box to you, Mr. B.F....I salute you and your pigeons...

I salute with a rat....wait, don't have a rat...how 'bout this small crumb of bread? I salute with my bread crumb! (in wishes to bring a rat to later salute with)
Okay, had to be funny...you survived you week! Enjoy your weekend!
Indeed I survived the first half...this next week is the worst of the two. Although, one of my profs was generous and moved a paper back. So I only have 2 papers now, and an exam. Thats a little better anyhow.
Is it over yet?!?!? :P
So, I myself prefer rats...they're much more cuddly ;) at least rats have built-in "handles"...at least that's what Dr. W tells me!! haaaa...
