Beyond the Black Hole

Humanity is hard to understand

I was reading this:

'Toothing is a form of anonymous sex with strangers - usually on some form of transport or enclosed area such as a conference or training seminar. 'Toothers meet by first connecting suitable equipment - such as a modern phone or palmtop computer. Users 'discover' other computers or phones in the vicinity and then send a speculative message. The usual greeting is: 'Toothing?'.

What confuses me is that there is so much formality involved. Mice just meet and do it. There is no fuss and no bother. You do not worry that other mice are watching. Your only worry is that some bigger, stronger mouse will come around before you begin and muck up all your impromptu plans.

Paul seemed quite interested in this subject.
