I need a "meme sheep" icon.

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 I Sing the Body Electric - Ray Bradbury
Funny, the book closest to me is actually Descartes - Hobbes - Pascal, but for many reasons I grabbed the next book over. 1) Well that's a boring book 2) I haven't read it 3) it doesn't have 123 pages :D
