When I’m writing and don’t know what to say, I often type “fuck” over and over.  I’m very concerned that I’m going to turn in a paper or, worse, give a presentation with a line of “fuck fuck fuck fuck.”

Example:

Carbon dioxide is clearly having an effect on piñon growth.  The first 100 years of growth from the comparison sites span four centuries of climate and none display the growth trends apparent at Red Mountain.  CO2 levels also appear as a significant explanatory variable fuck fuck fuck fuck in the models of growth for both trees that have survived the drought and trees that have succumbed to the drought.
