When I am old and thoroughly demented, living in a nursing home, I feel certain I will grab the arm of anyone who passes to tell them about the time I took Michael Cera's virginity. This particular lapse will be forgivable - it may even become a trend among members of 21st century senile generations - because as moviegoers, we will all have been there with him for multiple attempts and some successes...

...Maybe he is. Only time and a few roles in which he's not playing an anxious virgin will tell. The movie was a bad choice for him, given his résumé.

The great hope for ongoing epigenetic research is that with the flick of a biochemical switch, we could tell genes that play a role in many diseases - including cancer, schizophrenia, autism, Alzheimer's, diabetes and many others - to lie dormant.

...Wong admits that she herself has had to learn much over the years - in the beginning she could only tell Nepalis apart from other South Asians because they were "Tibetan-looking." Now, she relishes South Asian cooking, swathes herself in flashy Indian scarves and is sought after by the elders of a host of ethnic-minority associations.
