Right where you are sitting now...

(((obviously work book. When I get home I will do a second one with whatever is closest to my computer there.))

Okay, I moved from my home office desk area to where I usually sit when not working. Now the sentence is:

Now say this ten times -- "I am dead."

From the manga 20th Century Boys by Naoki Urasawa

page 56, fifth sentence:

vehicle; see automobile, vehicle. Types



(it's a Thesaurus)

Involuntary conversions, gain from, if reinvested .......

Use a comma to separate two identical or closely similar words:
They marched in, in twos.
Whatever is, is good.

...from Kate Turabian, A Manual for Writers, 6th ed.

"Watching an evening of cable network news creates the illusion that you re being informed about world events." -- Totally random.

Her heaving breasts . . . um . . .heaved....

hehe, ok, actual sentence.

5th sentence, 56th page: "Keep in mind that what you learn here applies to table-type layouts only-you'll learn how to rearrange the layout of the other views, such as the Contacts card view, in teh chapters that cover those Outlook folders."

"The following table shows the permissions that can be requested."

Kinda dull. It's a manual.

I've read this book. And . . ewww (sentence, not book got the ewww).

"Diazepam may be taken as a preventative and also as a treatment for the spasms which are among the symptoms of nerve-gas poisoning."

The Nuclear Survival Handbook - Living through and after a nuclear attack, by Barry Popkess

two 3FX animations buyall packs @ $15,000L each = $30,000L.

You said, the book nearest to me, and that's always my SL dance notebook.. lol!

Haha... the first book I grabbed was something to do with the computer and the pages were numbered by sections, so it doesn't have a page 56, although it has more than 56 pages!

technically my closest book is fiction, but I didn't want to open it and copy from it at work. Grabbing a book on Outlook 2000 and copying a line from it seemed . . . safer at work.

All the books near me (stacked, so the question would have to be 'nearest [specific body part]) are the type of reference books that don't have sentences.

So by default it's this:

"In 1399 Henry IV of Lancaster usurped the throne from the last Angevin King, Richard II."

Yay! Geekiness is running thickly here

"The normal is the vector along the surface that stands perpendicular to the surface at any point along the surface."

Such poetry....



(and no, I'm not at work!)

I'm feeling odd at the moment, so that "usurped" was translated in my mind to "licked". As in, Henry the IVth licked the throne, and no one else wanted to sit there. Eww, they thought, and therefore Henry IV was king.

"This enhanced brain is smart enough to design still better brains, until the whole boot-strapping process leaves us behind."

Hmmm. You could count.

Or I could: technically the closest book to me is an ebook in my PDA, so it doesn't really HAVE pages (or else the pages change every time I change the font size). I suppose I could go by the 56th "page down" operation...

"This creaky old twentieth-century machine, which predated the whole Internet-wide search for the defect, had already scored one direct hit on the far side; I just hoped this new class of models were all incompatible with the successful ones from a few days before."

"The Year's Best Science Fiction (2008 Edition)"
"Dark Integers", by Greg Egan.

Who in their right mind would go to Philadelphia in a BOAT?

Or, for that matter, at all?

"But I'm green the whole year round." [says Mistletoe on page 26 because they book has no more pages lol]

"Below are the descriptions of the glyphs that may be found in the western OpenType fonts from Adobe."

5th sentence on p 58 of the Adobe Font Folio 11 Type Reference Guide.

I have six books in my office and not one has words on p 56!

Translated into English, it goes, "Here, Simula's concept of blocks will help us."

(From an almost 20-year old teaching manual which happened to be stacked at the edge of my bookcase, the chapter extolling the virtues of the novel concept of scoped "blocks" in the early object-oriented language Simula.)

Argent, the more of your posts I read, the better I like you. If I wasn't already very married, I'd marry you, sock nibbling and all.

I am at home now. Page 56 is empty
