zoots14 Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Three books in a pile: 1) Father said, "Just try and keep your nose out of other people's business". 2) To do this, we will use two techniques: meditation, and deep breathing. 3) As former Yahoo! CMO Cammie Dunaway states, "You want to be connecting at the very senior levels of the organization, and you also want to be connecting in with the engineers and scientists who are doing a lot of work on the front lines."

kk448 Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Candide did not take courage, but followed the old woman to a decayed house, where she gave him a pot of pomatum to anoint his sores, showed him a very neat little bed, with a suit of clothes hanging up, and left him something to eat and drink. Mine didn't work. Damn you Voltaire... I have two others sitting here, but one's a play so I don't think that counts. The other quote is: I want to go home. Well I am already here so I don't think that one worked either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cath85 Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 I'm working on my linguistic presentation, so it kinda doesn't give any sense to read what it says in the book right next to me "qu'est-ce qu'une unité grammaticale?"

Wendi Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Wtf??!! Wendi, what are you reading!!? Its meant to be one of those books with random questions in it - but on page 25 its part of the answer to someone asking why a deceased relative was still perfectly intact when dug up 30 years later And what I want to know is...why do birds never fall off their perches while sleeping?? Its to do with clever tendons in their legs, and birds can also cling to the perch after death because of the tendon set-up!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Citiesonfire Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 the closest book to mee was 20th century ghosts by Joe Hill. ok its more like a paragraph. but it all ties in: 'He said that most horror and fantasy was worse than awful: exhausted, creatively bankrupt imitations of what was **** to begin with. He said sometimes he went for months without coming across a single fresh idea, a single memorable character, a single striking sentence' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ircazo Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 the nearest book is "Blutgier" and the first complete sentence on p. 25 is "Bin ich wirklich."
