It's All Greek to Me

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 23.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence as a comment on my blog.
5. Post the text of the sentence on your own blog, along with these instructions.

Here's mine:
“outos En ane en arche pros ton theon”

That's from John H. Dobson's Learn New Testament Greek, which is quoting John 1:2.

What do you have?

“You can mount a Windows partition of floppy under Linux, and directly access Windows files as you would any others.” Running Linux, 3rd Edition, from O’Reilly. After moving all my computer stuff to another room while the landlord repairs the floor, this was the nearest book at hand in a rather cramped space.

That’s interesting Josiah. Does WordPress give any kind of error?

Karen: Welcome aboard asisaid! Top stack, huh? Sounds like me — I have way too many stacks around my computer. :-)
