A book meme!
ChatBrat gave me this meme. You know I'm a sucker for being tagged for these things. Haha!
The rules:
1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages).
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people.
OK, story here is I read this but couldn't reply right away. So I picked up the nearest book at the time, and chose that to be my book. I figured it counted more if I wasn't prepared when I read the instructions. Knowing the rules, I was afraid it would influence my choice later.
The closest book by a longshot was "Computer Animation: Theory and Practice". I packed this book in my backpack for laughs. It was printed in 1987 and was the textbook for a class I took while in college. Things were different then.
Here's the text:
"Sammie was designed in 1980 at the University of Nottingham. This is, so far, the best parameterized human model and it presents a choice of physical types: slim, fat, muscled, etc. The vision system is very developed and complex objects can be manipulated by Sammie, based on 21 rigid links with 17 joints."
Long sentences. Not the most exciting thing to share. haha The primary focus of the book was a video called "Dream Flight". I found it on YouTube. Prepare to be (retroactively) amazed!!!!
Who do I tag?

How convenient - I just returned from our Las Vegas vacation and the 'Top 10 Las Vegas' book is on my desk. Here goes:
"Prize money in the high-stakes tournaments can go as high as a million dollars. Keep in mind that the casinos' primary reason for putting on tournaments is their belief that participants will gamble in the casino during the time when they're not competing. Most regular slot or video-poker tournaments consist of three rounds of 20-30 minutes each at metered machines and require no money to be spent during tournament play. Winners of each round, as well as the players whose aggregate scores for the three rounds are highest, are awarded prizes. The amount of prize money varies, but the majority of tournaments award cash to a large percentage - perhaps a quarter - of the entrants."
As noted on my blog, I only lost $3 in the only slot machine I tried during our entire vacation. :)
