pon farr style puberty *really* had to suck. I mean, we get the
   ball drop; happy new year, you can't run as fast in gym glass
   now.

   But pon farr? Yow. And every 7 years Sci-Fi's answer to Marilyn.
   I remember it vividly Star Trek III; every scream of agony as
   Spock went through the stages was painful to watch.
