...MULTITASKING RUDE? I JUST CHECKED MY EMAIL WHILE WE WERE TALKING. If the other person knows about it, yes. This is one of the great advantages that manners have over morals: if nobody knows, it doesn't count. If I hear the toilet flushing, it counts; if I don't, it doesn...
...headed for the restrooms at the back, where he deposited a plastic bag. The witness?whose identity is being kept secret by police?entered the men's room as Iqbal was leaving and, spotting the bag, called out after him: "Hey, you left your bag in the toilet."

Life in this Simerica has a dreamlike quality: the elements are familiar but scrambled.

So for now, Singaporeans, don't try to walk naked and chew gum at the same time...
...attendance seemed nonplussed. David Roberts, an Oxford physics student, was disappointed that the body was pickled in formaldehyde instead of fresh. "It's like going to Christmas dinner and just getting leftovers," he complained. Not everyone was so insouciant. One man covered his mouth and dashed for the toilet when Von Hagens made his first cuts through the cadaver's yellow, distended paunch. (The show's leading man was a prodigious whisky drinker and two-pack-a-day smoker.) Others found urgent reading material as Von Hagens sawed through the skull. Michael Wilks, chairman of the British Medical Association...
