'What shall we do?' said Twoflower.  'Panic?'  said  Rincewind  hope-
fully. He always held that panic was the best means of survival; back
in  the  olden days, his theory went, people faced with hungry sabre-
toothed tigers could be divided very simply in those who panicked and
those who stood there saying 'What a magnificent  brute!'  or  'Here,
pussy.'                      - Terry Pratchett, _The Light Fantastic_
