Who says psychobabble is a waste of time? It has me reading "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass" again in which, early on (p15), I found this....

>Down down down. There was nothing much else to do so Alice began talking again. 'Dinah will miss me very much tonight, I should think!' (Dinah was the cat.) 'I hope they will remember her saucer of milk at tea-time. Dinah my dear! I wish you were down here with me! There are no mice in the air, I'm afraid, but you might catch a bat, and that's very like a mouse you know. And here Alice began to get rather sleepy, and went on saying to herself, in a dreamy sort of way, 'Do cats eat bats? Do cats eat bats?' and sometimes 'Do bats eat cats?', for, you see, as she couldn't answer either question it didn't much matter which way she put it. She felt that she was dozing off, and had just begun to dream that she was walking hand in hand with Dinah, and was saying to her very earnestly, 'Now Dinah, tell me the truth: did you ever eat a bat?'
