...advantage of mimicry was clear. Monkeys looked longer at the imitator than they did at the other experimenter, and they chose to stand in front of the imitator more often. The monkeys also exchanged little tokens (in return for a bit of marshmallow) more often with the imitator than with the nonimitator...
...feel this. You know, when we're at the dinner table and Uncle Dave is telling a long, windy story, what you're really thinking is, "Where is this going? What is the bottom line?" That kind of impatience is not just limited to the dinner table; that's often how doctors feel. When you didn't have any other [diagnostic] tools except that story, you just buckled down and listened. But now that we have other [high-tech] tools, we feel like, "O.K., I'm out of here."

...what is the faithful but health-conscious Muslim woman to do? There are many schools of thought addressing this practical problem, and often the answer boils down to comfort vs. one's attachment to a particular sport.

People of a certain age recall when Stuckey's was known for sweet divinity and gooey taffy, back when such phrases weren't even vaguely smutty...
...nation is often referred to, there's often little choice. The lack of roads and the incredible remoteness of thousands of tiny hamlets and villages throughout the island mean flying is usually the only option to get around. Moala's flight was ferrying a group of 12 passengers to the tiny village of Kokoda, 50 miles northeast of the capital Port Moresby. Onboard flight CG4684 was co-pilot Royden Soauka, and a tour group of nine Australians and their local guide Steven Jaruba, a local businessman. By early on August 14, three days after the crash, authorities reported a 14th...
