Memes Once More?

Guess what, guys. They made a new season of Firefly, Keanu Reeves gave an earth-shattering performance as Hamlet, Hell froze over, and Katie posted in her LJ.

One of these may be true.

Anyway, I actually looked at livejournal today. Turns out folks are still doing those thar meme-type activities. So here’s two old ones my friends were doing, just for the heck of it.

“Find an approximate margin of error for these results.”

Franklin Agresti, Statistics: The Art and Science of Learning from Data.

Sure makes my personal library look hecka interesting…Oh well, that was the nearest book.

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open it to page 161.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't search around and look for the coolest book you can find. Do what's actually next to you.

1. Go to IMDB.com and look up 10 of your favorite movies.
2. Post three or four official IMDB "Plot Keywords" for each.
3. Hey guys, guess the movies!

1. Swan / Sahara Desert / Cliff / Antarctic
2. Spray paint / Underwater Scene / Pocket Knife / Miniaturization
3. Pepsi / Intolerance / Uncle Nephew Relationship / Slavery
4. Greed / Bad smell /Multiple Arms
5. No Opening Credits / Tavern / Bibliophilia / Countdown
6. Topless women / Breaking the Fourth Wall / Axe murder / Ostrich
7. Aviation / Clock / Magic
8. Self discovery / Father Son Relationship / Island / Baseball
9. Acorn / Little Girl / Secret Passage / Rain
10. Giant Snake / Wilhelm Scream / Racial Stereotype

Kudos to anyone who can guess number 3.

Hope you enjoyed my biannual post!
