[chickenfeet]

a) pick up a book which is the closest to you at the moment
b) open page 123
c) find the third sentence
d) post it in your Live Journal (plus the instructions)
e) don't choose the book, just pick up the one closest to you

Not very exciting over here:

I can beat that:

The regulations should be read in conjunction with the WRAS Guide, which includes detailed information of sizes, flow rates, valves, etc.

Who said architecture isn't glamorous??? :D

Hmmm ... The Economist doesn't have that many pages, and I'm no where close to a book

I'm guessing you mean closest in physical proximity, not fondness: Es geschah ohne Absicht.

This meme always gets me: the closest book is always a dictionary, which sits on my desk. And dictionaries don't really have sentences (which seems kind of ironic; but then, it says it is a pocket dictionary, and there is no way that could fit into my pockets. I should see how it defines "pockets").

The third definition on page 123 is for "chop-suey".
