In January a year ago he had woken at 3:00 a.m., not sure why.

I did as instructed and it actualle went better than expected:
"Minä osaan joitakin liikkeitä hyvin, mutta toisia varsin kankeasti." Translation: "I can do some movements quite well but others quite awkwardly."
My wife got this:
"Toisiinsa sulautuneet varjomme peittivät hetkeksi alleen kaikki aikaisemmin kiperiltä tuntuneet kysymykset." "For a moment our shadows joined together and overwhelmed all the questions that seemed so difficult a moment ago." She gets extra points since that actually was a sex scene.

:Opens to page 45: "In the state of nature, there are no covenants, no laws, no treatises, and no personal relationships."

"The rates are reasonable and some of the property has been there for years."

I'd complain about the prostitute allusions, but considering that the book is "Silence of the Lambs", I'm actually kind of relieved.

Nearest book is the Imperial Infantryman's Uplifting Primer...

"When Bayoneting an oncoming foe, thrust firmly into the throat or chest.  To ensure the foe is dead, repeat the procedure several times."

Wait!  Wrong page!

"c) Your best protection is to take advantage of natural obsticals that vehicles cannot cross: deep streams, ravines or canals."

That's... better?

That sounds even worse.   :o  Thank you, Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor (My Stroke of Insight) but no thanks.

How about this one:

Quote
Chapter 2 showed how the human eye, working by selelctive breeding over many generations, sculpted and kneaded dog flesh to assume a bewildering variety of forms, colours, sizes and behaviour patterns.

Nope, that doesn't seem promising either, thank you Richard Dawkins (The Greatest Show on Earth).

OK, let's see.
In 1989, communism fell,
because the
Berlin Wall
came down1
.

Communism
was left-wing, but also
god
less, which has
strong theological
connotations.

You see, religion influences attitudes towards sex, and whilst
hasty generalisations serve no-one2,
it can be reasonably claimed that

godlessness and its ideologies,
like communism, generate a sexually
liberal society, as opposed to
the sexually conservative attitudes we
have in godly, capitalist societies.

All in all, the passage suggests that you are
about to change your attitudes in some way,
from
the sexual liberalism associated with
godless communism, to
the sexual conservatism of
godly capitalism.
That, or the practical effects shall be similar.

In conclusion3

You won't be getting any.

________________

1 This is a liberal interpretation of history at best. Whilst the Wall came down in November 1989, it took until early 1990 for Lithuania, the first ex-Soviet republic, to declare itself independent, and nearly a year for Germany to officially reunify.
2 All arguments that aim to summarise or encompass, as opposed to generating a 1:1 simulacrum of the phenomenon at hand, will necessary simplify in the bid to reduce the abstract and qualitative down to a concrete detail.
3 This passage is an except from House of Leaves: Rapture Ready Edition, p. 45.

Ooh, this should be fun, I've been reading House of Leaves.

"In 1989, however, the noted southern theologian Hanson Edwin Rose dramatically revised this reading."

...what? Really? All the crazy crap in this book and it gives me that? A book that has the weirdest layout and plot of any I've ever read and it gives me a theological discussion? What does that even mean?

OK, let's see.
In 1989, communism fell,
because the
Berlin Wall
came down1
.

Communism
was left-wing, but also
god
less, which has
strong theological
connotations.

You see, religion influences attitudes towards sex, and whilst
hasty generalisations serve no-one2,
it can be reasonably claimed that

godlessness and its ideologies,
like communism, generate a sexually
liberal society, as opposed to
the sexually conservative attitudes we
have in godly, capitalist societies.

All in all, the passage suggests that you are
about to change your attitudes in some way,
from
the sexual liberalism associated with
godless communism, to
the sexual conservatism of
godly capitalism.
That, or the practical effects shall be similar.

In conclusion3

You won't be getting any.

1 This is a liberal interpretation of history at best. Whilst the Wall came down in November 1989, it took until early 1990 for Lithuania, the first ex-Soviet republic, to declare itself independent, and nearly a year for Germany to officially reunify.
2 All arguments that aim to summarise or encompass, as opposed to generating a 1:1 simulacrum of the phenomenon at hand, will necessary simplify in the bid to reduce the abstract and qualitative down to a concrete detail.
3 This passage is an except from House of Leaves: Rapture Ready Edition, p. 45.

HAHA, thanks CtraK, that made my day! Only problem here is that I'm pretty sure nobody on RR would ever read that book, it's clearly of the devil or something like that. I think it'd make their poor little fundie minds explode.

*ahem*

Encounter Level
A standard encounter should challenge a typical group of adventurers but not overwhelm them. The characters should prevail if they haven't depleted their daily resources or had a streak of bad luck. An encounter that's the same level as the party, or one level higher, falls in this standard range difficulty.

From a Latin-English Dictionary:

Quote
Capax - capable of holding, spacious, roomy, capable, able, tit.
(Actually I can't tell if the last word is tit or fit)

From a Norwegian-English Dictionary:

Quote
Eksemblar - speciman; copy

From a Japanese-English Dictionary:

Quote
Cigar - hamaki

And finally, from a random book:

Quote
She could have pursued him for a hundred pages or a thousand.

I'm going to have dry year, I'm afraid. Even that I have a pile of books next to me, none of them promises anything good...

first book: "我说英语。"
second book: "A combination of the symbol for a foot and the symbol for a cave-dwelling"
third book: "Fill in the blanks with given words"

Yup, back to studying ->

I thought I'd try with several more books:

"The sofa was perfect for sleeping."

From Haruki Murakami's Hard Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World. I did recently come across a dating site profile where the woman in question explicitly stated that she wanted to be fucked on a sofa. Maybe I should message her... or maybe I should try again.

"So, there was nearly no reason for me to continue in school, and the band was happening, so I quit."

Mike Mills of R.E.M. explains what turned out to be a shrewd move in R.E.M.: Fiction by David Buckley. I don't know how that helps me, though.

"Connected to the machine by a tangle of wires, armbands and suction pads, the patient does not suffer, he simply has to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, and to cease to believe in the universal assertion, the old, old story, which since the beginning of time, has been drummed into us, that the will can do anything, for you need look no further than the following example, which denies it outright, because that wonderful will of yours, however much you may trust it, however tenacious it may have been up until now, cannot control twitching muscles, cannot staunch unwanted sweat or stop eyelids blinking or regulate breathing."

Jose Saramago's Seeing manages to be of negative help, not only being obtuse on the relevant subject, but being impenetrable in and of itself. Moving on-

"This isn't some kind of optical illusion: the passage of time is slowed down on the moving train according to someone on the platform."

Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw's Why Does E=mc2? offers a trippier prediction. I'll settle for it.
