"The problem, Russell said, is that there are only certain types of tasks that humans are good at doing simultaneously. Cooking and talking on the phone go together fine, as does walking and chewing gum (for most people). But try and do three math problems at once, and you are sure to have a problem."

No problem multitasking here!! Having had a lot of practice I can manage to switch my coffee cup from right hand to the left and take a few sips, grab a roll of paper towels whilst falling out of my chair (ROFL is optional).
