Everybody's doing it, I'll do it too...*
This meme is spreading and it's interesting, so I admit to being infected too:

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 23.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.

Here is mine: "Par conséquent, je devais trouver un"

Amelie Nothomb: Stupeur et tremblements. Editions Albin Michel, 1999.

I've come across the word meme in several blogs lately, but had honestly kind of forgotten what it meant. So I looked it up: here's a few definitions:
"A contagious information pattern that replicates by parasitically infecting human minds and altering their behavior, causing them to propagate the pattern" and "memes propagate themselves in the meme pool by leaping from brain to brain via a process which, in the broad sense, can be called imitation."
- apparently Richard Dawkins was the first to use it all. All this and more at: What is a meme?

Also, someone has tried to track where and when this meme/vira started: page 23, sentence 5: an autopsy.
