  These Mortal Coils
Mortals pays intense attention to small points: a conversation between husband and wife goes on for 30 pages, a discussion of errors in the Bible another 30.
Mortals, with its African setting, its mix of marital and post-colonial politics and its examination of guilt and jealousy, all but demands comparison with Graham Greene's novels.
While Mortals may be written in the third person, we are restricted to Ray's thoughts and his perceptions of events, and we receive them at length and with comprehensive detail.

 BBC News | Sci/Tech | Researchers unravel 'this mortal coil'
The coil is a coiled piece of DNA which becomes detached and replicates inside a cell until the cell is overwhelmed and dies.
Eventually the nucleolus is so stuffed with ERC coils that the cell's ability to replicate DNA breaks down and the cell dies.

 RPGnet: Review of Mortal Coil
All Mortal Coil games in some way deal with Magic as a setting element, and with Passions as character elements and motivators, and after being painted initially in broad strokes, the specifics of the supernatural within the collaboratively-created setting are decided during actual play.
Mortal Coil has one of the lowest GM burdens in terms of game-prep I have ever encountered.
Mortal Coil games are created collaboratively, and the GM has less “world creation” authority/responsibility than most other games.

 The Trades - Book Review: Mortal Coils: Bodylines
Mortal Coils: Bodylines is what Rod Serling might have produced if he had access to cable television: an anthology of short stories that are suspenseful, fantastical, and science fictional without actually fitting into any of those pigeonholes.
These are intentional mentions, as the further into the anthology one reads, the more closely knit the stories become until, at last, the author brings all the characters together for one great hurrah as we learn just why things have been going so weird for so many.
It puts the whole set of stories in a new light, but the writing is so good, and the earlier stories stand so solidly on their own they didn't really need the merger.

It's not spectacularly deep or meaningful, but it is thought-provoking, and the vivid descriptions of the antics at the funeral provide the evening's most satisfying mental visuals.

 MIT Biologists Identify Aging Mechanism
During a yeast cell's life, whenever a particular, coiled piece of DNA pinches off from one of its chromosomes, that extrachromosomal ribosomal DNA (ERC) replicates until the cell becomes overwhelmed and dies.
Indeed, William Shakespeare, a man of powerful intuition and observation, would be pleased to learn how closely Hamlet's phrase denoting mortality -- the "mortal coil" -- portrays an actual molecular drama.
Yet, the very mechanism which saves the cell becomes its "mortal coil" as ERCs "accumulate exponentially in mother cells resulting in fragmented nucleoli, cessation of cell division, and cellular senescence," the authors wrote.

Mortal Coils is a program of five one-act plays centered on time-tested themes of lust, jealousy, guilt, resentment, and above all death.
Playwright Frederick Stroppel tries to explore the dark corners of human emotion with an irreverent and comic touch, but these pieces seldom lived up to the modest promise of their premises.
Stroppel is certainly a clever writer with a flair for crafting surprising situations, and most of these plays have promise.
