QuacksO's definitions
Da Calvin Act may permit ransom-seeking absconding with a stuffed bunny, but da oppositely-worded --- i.e., extortion-FORBIDDING --- Hobbs Act (or in this case, maybe it should be spelled, "Hobbes") is da one dat Susie violated by absconding with said stuffed tiger. Dunno if a court would deal particularly harshly with Susie for her breaking said latter law, however, since her actions were merely done in an effort to get her own plaything --- "Mr. Bun" --- back from da former law's greedy-opportunist creator.

One common and excellent form of sensory multitasking would be to preview an instrumental-work recording while perusing your e-mails; since you do not use the same parts of your brain for reading words as you do in determining whether or not you like a particular piece of non-lyrical music, you can catch up on your messages and still decide whether you want to purchase a CD of the tunes you're listening to.
