The Status Game

A while ago I was tagged by Megg Wilson to play The Status game.  Megg, my apologies for this tardy response.

Today, juries sometimes refuse to convict drug users (especially medical marijuana users), tax protesters, abortion protesters, gun owners, battered spouses, and people who commit “mercy killings.”

– Taken from “50 things you’re not supposed to know” by Russ Kick.

Rules:
* Grab the book closest to you. Now.
* Go to page 56.
* Find the 5th sentence (not line).
* Write that sentence as the first line in your post or your blog post title.
* Copy these instructions into your blog post.
* Don’t go looking for your favourite book, or the coolest one you have — just grab the closest one

Following Megg’s lead, I’ve tagged a few mates to do the same.

  4. Stumbled across your blog searching for facebook help… Also stumbled across this post. One question: what if it’s really boring and/or will ensure a necessarily technical post?

    E.G. Closest book, page 56, 5th sentence:
    The rest of the work is done by PHP, as can be seen in the code.

    I have a rep to hold up on my facebook/blog too! Might have to start wearing the “geek inside” t-shirt while I’m posting… Most of my friends know I’m a closet Nerd…
