cherryI've overhauled my LJ again. It's green! Who doesn't love green, and limes? I'm just hoping my insanely high tolerance to bright colours doesn't mean that it's burning the retinas of others.
So that there's a bit moresubstance space to this post:
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open it to page 161.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal (or my comments) 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.
The stem of an A=form colony, such as the hydroids Halocordyle or Eudendrium or siphonophores, is an axial polyp that elongates more or less indefinitely and, with growth, buds a succession of new zooids laterally (Fig 7-3D, 7-62, 7-69).
Okay, so it was the second-nearest text, but my Fundamentas of Machine Component Design didn't actually have five sentences on the page. It was a chart on Kt values vs W/w and h/w in T-head members with an axial load. This was at approximately the same distance as a calculus text, which was using Green's theorem on line integrals about a point to help develop Stoke's theorem. Let's just say that I don't know how to make ANY of the symbols involved appear on a computer without using Equation Editor.
Sometimes, I hate my life. *G*

Both probably need or needed to grow near sources of melting or standing water, respectively.
(The nearest book had only 131 pages and the next nearest didn't really have sentences, so this is from the third nearest.)

Date: 2006-03-25 11:07 pm (UTC)It was the third nearest book, though, since the nearest one doesn't have 161 pages. (And the sentance would have been five lines long and in latin if it was that one and the other one had a sentance in the davanagari script for sanskrit class and a. I'm still crap at transliterating it and b. I have no idea how to type with the diacrylics included.)

Full discloser makes this game so much more fun, doesn't it? *G*
