Fri 6/22/2007 8:17a | *whew*. I thought I was going to have to give you a virtual smackdown for saying Connecticut Yankee wasn't funny. Good thing I read all the way through first! lol. Just Kidding. I wouldn't smack you down even if you didn't think it was funny. I'd just mercilessly harass you verbally. Not kidding this time...okay maybe I am.
Let's move on, shall we?
Your turn!

Mon 6/25/2007 8:22p | I obviously made this too hard. So, from the same book, the first paragraph of chapter five.
"It was on a dreary night of November that I beheld the accomplishment of my toils. With an anxiety that almost amounted to agony, I collected the instruments of life around me, that I might infuse a spark of being into the lifeless thing that lay at my feet. It was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs."
