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?

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."
Ooooh, I see what you mean, dammit. Well post up the photograph or try page 57. Remember, useless without pics.

"Ree and Megan left together, picked their way down the steep slickery hill without sharing words."
Winter's Bone - Daniel Woodrell.
The book that's actually qualifies as closest to me is, 'How to be Gooder at Climbing', but that only runs to about 12 pages and has too many photos of Majid...
...and no passive nut tips...

"Ooh, it doesn't look like the bike lesson went so good."

from It's A Magical World, A Calvin and Hobbes Collection by Bill Watterson.
Really it was kind of a tie between what book was closest because I have a stack of Calvin and Hobbes books under my desk. I just grabbed the one on top.

Page 56 is a table, so you have to take a sentece from p 57:
"If a till is named and classified according to this table, then its naming should begin by the use of the depositional parameters followed by the use of the depositional parameters, followed by the designation of the mode of transport and the derivation."
