Some words I wrote

CNN is now, apparently, offering shirts with the day's headlines on them.  Um, why?  Do I need a shirt that says "Clinton urged to reject votes of racists" or "Flying fish stays aloft for 45 seconds"?

Here 'tis!  I have wanted this tattoo for like, um, seven years.  When I was in Finland, I took a trip to the Arctic Circle and was given a Lappish name in a horribly tacky tourist ceremony--namely, Bear: "Sä oot ihan karhun näköinen!"

2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences. [Including the fifth or after the fifth?  Damn meme writers. -SC]
   
5. Meme another tagger!  [Er--dammit! -SC]
   

It should probably be noted that I am cheating a little, since page 123 of the closest book didn't have five sentences on page 123...  So, instead, from Desmond Morris's The Naked Ape:

At this stage, around three to four months old, the response starts to be more specific.  It is narrowed down from any old face to the particular face of the mother.  Parental imprinting is taking place.
