...include London's British Museum and a sweep through the U.S. The exchanges are also taking place with avant-garde productions. Taipei drumming troupe U-Theatre recently wrapped an islandwide tour of A Touch of Zen, a show about the spiritual travails of a martial artist that features kung fu masters from China's famed Shaolin Temple...
...Ladies prefer to keep silent while they queue up all their lives at public toilets, missing the show after [intermission], doing kung-fu stances to pee because the seat cover is too filthy," says Jack Sim, president of the World Toilet Organization (WTO), a global body with representation from 42 member countries, which advocates for better public sanitation practices around the world.

...canceled after one season, Rogen didn't get many auditions. "It didn't bother me very much. I didn't think I'd ever be an actor," says Rogen. "I thought I was going to be a writer." All the time, like some sort of '70s-movie kung-fu master, Apatow was coming up with ridiculous writing tests for Rogen and Goldberg to pass: turn an idea of his into a movie in 10 days (even though nothing was going to happen at the end of 10 days); come up with 100 one-page-long ideas for movies (they...
