“Because humans are not alone in exhibiting such behavior—bees stockpile royal jelly, birds feather their nests, mice shred paper—it’s possible that a pregnant woman who scrubs her house from floor to ceiling [just before her baby is born] is responding to a biological imperative . . . .

—Mary Arrigo (20th century)
“You mean that this little pebble’s been out there hot-roddin’ around the universe?”
