Memeage

"Find the nearest book to you, turn to page 45, and read the first sentence: this describes your sex life in 2012."

Since I don't have a sex life, this is purely for amusement purposes. And it's plenty amusing. I'm sitting right next to a full bookcase, so nearest doesn't exactly apply. Have a selection.

The lady in black and her friend had always been very fond of the Città Vecchia. -- Which is eh enough, except that the book was published in 1897. Giovanni and the Other, Frances Hodgson Burnett

Anne's stunning announcement put my brain on HOLD.  --  *snerk*  Who's Anne?  Magnificat, Julian May (the UK paperback)  

Who was that man?  --  *howls with laughter*  Tales of the Restoration, David & Karen Mains, Ill. Diana Magnuson  

New species these days tend to be invertebrates.  --  Now that's just disturbing.  Swimming with Piranhas at Feeding Time, Richard Conniff

"You'll never make a jeweller," he whispered to her.  --  Well, no, probably I won't!  The Door into Sunset, Diane Duane 

And that's enough of that.

You had to specify "book", didn't you?

Web servers and other applications that communicate over the Internet have been often attacked by remote users exploiting buffer overflow vulnerabilities in their code.

That is ... scary. I suppose it could have been worse; the next closest book was a text on theoretical basis for calculus. Not even gonna open that one.

Hey, I didn't invent the meme! :D

Sounds like...really subtextual pillow talk for coding geeks?

I don't know. That buffer overflow just brings to mind some unfortunate images.
