-	Many lower life forms demonstrate qualities that, at first, just don't

-it's a catch-22.  If he mates, he gets screwed out of an opportunity to mate
-again.  If he doesn't mate, he doesn't reproduce, ending his family tree.  This
-suicidal behavior is commonly called the Preying Mantis Syndrome -- and many
-life forms are periodically subject to its wrath.  How did the preying mantis
-become stuck in such a awful, vicious cycle?  This is probably what happened:
-	The male mantis arrives at the residence of the female mantis.  After
-some courtship exercises (dinner, a movie, inserting the diaphragm) they mate.
-The female mantis, her lust for... lust being satisfied, relaxes while the
-male raids the refrigerator and returns home.  This behavior continues until
-the male and female (mantissas?) establish a permanent relationship.  Then the
-male establishes a new pattern of behavior:  Football on Mondays, baseball on
-Tuesdays, happy hour on Wednesdays, uh, well, uh, working-late-at-the-office
-on Thursdays, etc. etc.  The female tolerates this for awhile, then files for
-a divorce.  After a long court battle, she concludes one thing:  It simplifies
-matters tremendously to just eat him when you're done with him.
-	Well, through the centuries of evolution, the Preying Mantis Syndrome
-has been carried up to the highest life forms, as well as to humans.  That is
-why, one week out of every month, the female of the species will feel compelled
