Attack of the Killer Meme

This is floating around the blogosphere, so now I've got it (for the record, I got it from X-Ray Spex).

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't search around and look for the "coolest" book you can find. Do what's actually next to you.

So here goes:

The nearest book is the World of Warcraft Game Manual. The fifth sentence of page 123 states: "In addition, many of these places are essential end points for quests and hiding places for unique enemies."

Don't you want to know what those places are? Get the game and find out!

This is pretty sad. If I did more than write and play World of Warcraft on my PC, I'd have quoted from David Liss' A Conspiracy of Paper or Robert Massie's Castles of Steel or even O'Connors Annotated Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. If they were a few inches closer, I could have quoted from the Chicago Manual of Style. But nope, the meme demands the nearest book.

Well, now the meme passes on to you, dear reader. Follow the meme! I'm looking at you Athens Pie (and, perhaps, FernaBear), Almonetto, Grinding Metal and Eric's Musings.

It's good to see you back in the blogoshpere, posting more regularly. I had stopped checking for a while because apparently you had a busy spell - and were unable to post. Welcome back! Con Mucho Gusto! Anonymous in Ohio
