You may remember a few weeks back when NewMexiKen posted a link to David Pogue’s Imponderables. Well, he’s posted some of the responses: Readers Answer Some of Pogue’s Imponderables. The replies include my own about laptops at takeoff, but others are more fun, especially this:

–”My mother, O.K.? Now you know.”
