On Facebook, a friend posted a note stating to pick up the closest book to you, turn to page 56, find the 5th sentence and post it in a note on Facebook.

Mine, of course, turned out to be "One must, therefore, get his head up by mouth punishment and drive him on ahead."

5th sentence, pg 57:
"They rummage for food beneath the snow and break the ice in the streams in order to get fresh water."

pg. 56 is just a large picture of mustangs.

Majestic Horse by Gabriele Boiselle.

Admitedly, I do have many non-horse books close by (Mrs. Dalloway Reader is by my feet on the ottoman), but Majestic Horse is the one next to my elbow!

Ugh- I like your guy's sentences better. Mine is:

"When pronouncing Maya words, the emphasis is always on the final syllable; when pronouncing Nahua words, the emphasis is always on the next to last syllable."

From the Christensen translation of the Popol Vuh.

In my defense, though, and to keep it HR, I'm finishing up the revisions on a big book so I can get back to the more important business of prepping my Voltaire youngster to graduate from the baby greens to pre-green land!

"Using the technique of ultrasonography, it has been found that follicles within the ovary tend to grow in waves"

From: Illustrated Atlas of Clinical Equine Anatomy and Common Disorders of the Horse. Of course page 56 just haaaad to be in the reproductive chapter .

I also had a novel at my feet. The fifth sentence of page 56 is "Damn."

"Mufflewuffle Cottleston Pie mufflewuffle."

I'm not kidding It's from "The Tao of Pooh" by Benjamin Hoff. We're studying Taoism in my Eastern Religions class. All of my HR books are in my closet upstairs. All I have nearby are textbooks.

Currently reading Rita Mae Brown's new book "Hounded to Death". Do not have it with me; I am at work. Anyone else out there reading it??

Sigh.
Page 56 is a chapter title page, page 58:

"To view the blend modes, a layer, not the background, must be highlighted."

"Advanced Photoshop CS3 Trickery & FX"

The closest horse book was right next to it, though.

"I call these exercises "specific muscle exercises" because they help you learn how to "press the button" in your brain which activates a specific muscle."
