I cannot multi-task

And the odds are that everybody I meet every day is just about as bad at it as I am.

One helicopter pilot, engaged in an extensive text-message conversation while doing his pre-flight checks, apparently blew two chances to find out he didn't have enough fuel onboard.

He didn't notice, until, we presume, he ran out of fuel and fatally crashed his copter.

If you send me a text message, be warned that I won't reply until it is safe and sensible for me to do so.

You know how they make that pink slime?

No. You don't. And a federal judge has said that Iowa State University can't tell you, either. Nor can they tell you about the results of their food product safety study.

Ewwwww.
