Rules:
* Get the book nearest to you. Right now, NOW dammit.
* Go to page 56.
* Find the 5th sentence.
* Write this sentence in your post now, NOW.
* Don't look for your favourite book or your coolest but really the nearest.

(Climbing Anchors by John Long) reads; To remove passive nuts, first try a gentle aproach, wiggling the piece out the way it went in.

In terms of MMPs, there have been a number of studies measuring MMP activity in CWF, but many of these studies have only used general techniques to identify a broad range of MMPs e.g. the Azocoll assay, gelatin zymography, and antibody detection.

Exciting stuff, huh?

so, it's a photograph of a book or just a photograph. If just a photograph then you fail at following directions see above and review directions. Follow reviewed directions and proceed to place apropriate section of text within a post.

No. I followed your instructions. But on page 56 was a photograph. It's kind of hard to get the 5th sentence if it is a photograph. I followed them to a "T."

at my left hand, Machinery's Handbook 16th edition umm, okay, but its not a paragraph, its a table so :

and, at my right hand

It's definitely a strange read, and I agree, the tone fits perfectly. I ate it up in one sitting on a very rainy Sunday. Not one of my favorite books, but worth a read.

I cleaned my room, so now there is a other book closer to me. However the topic did not change, form Glaciers, by Peter G. Knight:

"For example, real galciers generally do not have horizonmtal beds, do not vary in thickness and surface temperature steadily with distance from the centre-line, and are not necessarily in a steady state"

I think its quite interesting how many "geeky" books are close to a great percentage of the RC population. If one randomly browses the threads on this site, one would rahter think that most people go "hu? hvat is a book? Is it them strange tings with lettres in there? U R teh Gay!"

Not really - the folks who are most likely to respond to this thread are those who a.) actually read books and b.) aren't embarrassed by what they're reading.

I would still guess that a large number of RC.noob members do NOT, in fact, read books, but most of those folks aren't gonna be posting here any time soon.

Graphic novels count don't they? Neil Gaiman's Sandman: The Doll's House reads "But I knew his father -- or perhaps it was his grandfather."

The closest "real" book is A Hitchcock Reader, a textbook for one of my previous film classes. It reads "He told graphic artist and filmmaker Saul Bass that although North by Northwest had run out of money, it still needed a dynamic opening."

Actually, the nearest book to me only has 28 pages, so I'll go with the second nearest:

Since the manual was in sections, I did not count section title pages, only numbered pages, in getting to 56.

Nope, the Conservation Code has nothing to do with the environment, energy efficiency, or building materials. All the Conservation Code deals with is fire protection and egress.
