+In addition to running other methods dynamically, you can use FactoryGirl's
+syntax methods (like `build`, `create`, and `generate`) within dynamic
+attributes without having to prefix the call with `FactoryGirl.`. This allows
+you to do:
+
+```ruby
+sequence(:random_string) {|n| LoremIpsum.generate }
+
+factory :post do
+  title { generate(:random_string) } # instead of FactoryGirl.generate(:random_string)
+end
+
+factory :comment do
+  post
+  body { generate(:random_string) }  # instead of FactoryGirl.generate(:random_string)
+end
