Got this from

thete1 at the point I actually lost self-control and decided to do it, but I could have got it elsewhere - saw it numerous times. Enjoyed the results.

1. Take five books off your bookshelf.
2. Book #1 -- first sentence
3. Book #2 -- last sentence on page fifty
4. Book #3 -- second sentence on page one hundred
5. Book #4 -- next to the last sentence on page one hundred fifty
6. Book #5 -- final sentence of the book
7. Make the five sentences into a paragraph:

I took them at random from five different bookcases. One is a library book.

I suppose I've always been interested in the relation of mind and body, growing up as I did in a culture that separated them distinctly. I've disturbed you, with this babble. They almost reach for the glasses. In compound numbers, unus is used for primus: uno et octogensimo anno, in the eighty-first year. And though the world should reel to a puny death and the wolves are appointed our godfathers, I will not fail you, ever.

Some of you will recgonize that last sentence for sure.

Not much coherence in that paragraph, I would say.
