More fluff while I grade papers...
While you're giving me your puns (see below), you should also give me your best (slightly) pejorative and (hopefully) funny descriptions of cognitive psychology/science. The two best I've heard, both from the same attention researcher, are:

and
"Cognitive psychology is a bunch of monkeys jumping around trying to grab the high hanging fruit."
