I need a "meme sheep" icon.

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 3 sentences on your blog along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I
know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.


I did page 122 because page 123 doesn't have 5 sentences.

It may therefore be logical for birds to grow darker feathers in the regions exposed to direct sunlight and to produce 'cheap' feathers on their less-exposed underparts. From below, a white belly is harder to see than a dark belly silhouetted against the sky, and this consideration may also influence plumage colouration. Nevertheless, birds can be dark above and pale below without actually being black and white, so it is hard to say why a pied colour scheme is so popular in resident waders.

From Life Along Land's Edge - a book produced by CALM about Broome wildlife, focusing on the migratory waders.

"There was an interminable wait while the old man from the Concord who was next to choose the sacrifice hobbled to the cauldron that held all the names of women and girls that met the criteria - or at least, all of them that could be identified. There were probably some hiding ing the mountains, and maybe more disguising themselves as boys. But there were more than enough to fill the cauldron, and there was always the pressure of the neighbours whose girls' names were in the lottery, to keep too many young women from escaping their duty."
