Aside from the "cats aspirin" bit, it sounds like someone I need around the place quite often.

Nice, "out of the box", thinking!

Earth is a fascinating place to live and work.

Her eyes strayed to the ornate golden cube, and she half lifted a hand as if to touch it, but when she spoke it was to say, "Elaida is in Tar Valon, Daughter. She came with Elayne and Gawyn"

"You needn't concern yourself, Doctor."

You'd be amazed how long it took me to find a book nearby that had five sentences on page 56. I've got a lot of manga and art books piled up by my computer.

"Ehe der Chronist seinen Knüppel heben konnte, war das Ding ums Feuer gehuscht und sprang ihn schnell wir eine Grille an."

which is in the English original:

"Before Chronicler could raise his piece of firewood, the thing skirted sideways around the bonfire and sprang at him, quick as a cricket."

It´s a fantasy book, first published in 2007. It´s part one of a trilogy (part 2 and 3 not published yet).

The author has won the Publishers Weekly Award for the best fantasy book.

Any fantasy fans around who can guess?

Fishing? Ropework? Out of them all this one I'm most curious about...

Really now... ...Those can't be my only options now can they?

Actually all jesting aside it was from "The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Knots and Ropework". A book that has come in mighty handy over the years in spite of its questionably over confident title.

Without elaborating on the background story- Last year I managed to tie a Christmas tree to the top of a friends jeeps so securely that when we arrived at our destination it took three fellows with knives a half hour to free it.

Meanwhile I was smugly inside drinking hot coco. Ah, the holidays.

Shoot. And here I was, hoping it came from A Beginner's Guide to Bondage.

Patricia · 11-29-2008, 10:29 PM

And I thought it might be macrame or tatting.

Stir in the lime juice and the coriander.

We are forced again to remember that we are in the realm where quantum physics and its associated effects dominate, and the solution lies here.
