can't wait for BB's RANT 
When you sense fear, your body DOES slow down unnecessary things like digestion, but it also raises the heart rate to get more blood flowing to muscles etc should you need to fight/flee the situation. Apparently the idiots who write this shit have never had an adrenaline rush because they're too busy ramming their heads up their asses?

^This. I've sat with countless people trying to help calm their breathing and heart rates in high stress situations (never mind experiencing some of my own scary situations). I'm no medical professional but my experience is valid.

Unless you're scared to death, then you heart stops, which is like an extreme form of slowing down. I'm sure that's what they meant.

It wasn't a cat that the Boston couple raised, it was a harbor seal named Hoover. Hoover speaks with a Boston accent!
