Fun blogging thing

Here's something I found on another blog. Do this:
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 for me, it is John Dupre, The Disorder of Things: "It is undeniable that the chemical conception of genes has been indispensable in investigating such fundamental biological phenomena as replication, mutation, and the expression of segments of DNA as polypeptide chains."

Yum.

"Where are his arms and armor, where are his horses?"

From "the Iliad" of Homer, translated by W.H.D. Rouse.

the paperback was lying within reach to my 11 o'clock position. I could have reached to the 3 o'clock to get Ulysses by Joyce, but that one was hidden under and within a newspaper, having been left out by accident in the rain Thursday night.

"Like a slave driver, the printer driver uterly controls the printer, telling it to do exactly what the program wants."

From DOS for Dummies

Look! I was looking for something in it the other day, and that was right in front of me on my desk. That was a very simple sentence I know. But, the command indexes are very useful. ;)
