Nicked from [info]mosskat55 and perverted for my own nefarious purposes!

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 a comment here.

5. Don't search around and look for the "coolest" book you can find. Do what's actually next to you


The sixth step is mine - I am collating everybody's responses, and I'm going to make cut-up poetry out of them. Surely, surrealist artistic techniques are what Livejournal is for.

My answer, by the way, is They also punish ignorance of any point of law that ought to be known and is not difficult to ascertain. From Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, a book I'm studying for my Philosophy A-level.

Well the actual book next to me is a Dictionary of English Grammar, but the pages are not numbered and I'll be damned if I count 123 pages in. So instead you'll have to make do with The Da Vinci Code.
