Jumping on the Bandwagon

I saw this on Alyssa's blog and others.

Instructions:
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!

The nearest book happens to be one I'm reading at the moment : The Templar Revelation by Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince.

And the text reads:

The Templars were a repository of knowledge gleaned from many esoteric sources, including those of alchemy and sacred sexuality. (The connection between Black Madonnas, Templars and alchemy is the subject of a study by French historian Jacques Huynen in his L'enigme des Vierges Noires (The Enigma of the Black Virgins) (1972).) And the 'bridge' between their exotic and esoteric ideas and the Christian world of their day was embodied in the image of one woman: Mary Magdalene.

It's a book about the Freemasons, the Cathars, the Knights Templar, the occult, John the Baptist, Mary Magdalene, and their inter-connectedness. It's a book about the quest for truth.

How about I post on your blog? ;>

Let's see...

"Confusion won those early moments, and it was something that Bruenor and his boys were determined to push through to the very end. More and more dwarves rolled in or came down from above, thickening and widening the line of slaughter.
Crossbowdwarves picked their targets carefully back by the entryway from Keeper's Dale, looking for any orcs barking orders."

From The Two Swords by R.A. Salvatore

Yeah, I'm a gamer geek.
