Cool and serendipitous (sp?) stuff from a chick with cute hair and a blog

Got this from House of Snark. I was actually looking for an TAR7 post, but found this instead...

Also stole her table idea, not that she's the first to use tables in html.

Instructions:
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 3 sentences on your blog along with these instructions.
5. Don’t you dare dig for that “cool” or “intellectual” book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.

A unanimity rule-- a rule that requires the consent of all parties before a decision can be implemented-- is used to govern interactions in situations, such as market exchange, in which property rights have been defined and in which it is reasonable to allow individuals to make voluntary decisions

That was a mouthful. That's not an engineering book, but a book I picked up for free in my apartment building's lobby. Something about Business. It was free. It was either that or some construction white pages listings... the Blue Book, for those of you familiar, and different from the Kelly Blue book.

Oh sweet, more stuff from House of Snark!!! I found this video @ her page, a little bit further down from the book thing... good stuff, reminds me of that Superfriends Wazzup! spoof i saw a while back there...

OK, 1 hour, 2 minutes to bid time... time to hunker down
