A couple of days ago, my pal Nancy posted this thing in her blog. It was interesting so I'll post it here along with my results.
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.
Mine was: "By the time of his death he was largely forgotten."
What's yours?
------
If I was anybody playing for anybody else but the Suns I'd be trying really hard to take Steve Nash out for the long run. With him, the Suns are amazing. Without him, they play like third-graders.
And he's not even the leading scorer on the team.
------
Why is Nash's position called "point guard" when it's not up to the point guard to score points?
On the same note, why are they called "Egg Creams" when there are no eggs or cream involved?
Why do Philadelphians refer to Italian ice as "Water Ice?" As opposed to what? COBALT ice? LEATHER ice?
And this one from George Carlin: Why do football coaches wear baseball caps?
------
Golf would be more interesting to watch if it was played naked. Hell, just about ANY sport would be more interesting to watch if played naked.
------
Interesting fact: There is no law prohibiting toplessness in the state of New York.
Some cities are now allowing toplessness for women anywhere that a guy can enjoy the same privilege.
That doesn't beat the night a friend of mine bared her breasts in front of me and a bunch of friends at the window table of a Denny's, but it's interesting.
Personally, I think the real reason that women are prohibited from walking around shirtless is that the insurance companies don't want to deal with it. But you know what would happen? For two weeks there would be a slew of car accidents from guys who stop paying attention to the road because they're looking at topless women. After TWO WEEKS that would all stop. I'm sure of it.
