yep, a spin-off thread from the Whose Line is it Anyway thread. simply guess what book these last sentences are from.

1. It was chiefly in order to allow time for the preliminary work of translation that the final adoption of New-speak had been fixed for so late a date as 2050.

2. She begins the word that she's only whispered to me in the dark: Johnny,

3. I carry a lot of scars.

4. In the deep glens where they lived all things were older than man and they hummed of mystery.

this felt like a good idea, now, writing it up, i'm thinking not so much. but i'll post it anyway to see how it goes. i have a hunch that it's going to be eithr glaringly obvious, or horribly difficult. we'll see.

Coming soon: the Epigraph-o-rama thread!

He added a figure to his equation that he felt he shouldn't have, but after he died, it was figured out that the figure/term is actually important, because it factors in Dark Energy. I

I believe that's what he's referring to. And you don't seem to understand the point of this thread.

You fail.

Tuffy should not be taken right before or after heart bypass surgery. Also, Tuffy may infrequently cause serious (rarely fatal) bleeding from the stomach or intestines.

Ask your doctor if Tuffy is right for you.

You can't do this without announcing spoilers; in which case you'd have to expose the answers; in which case you wouldn't have a thread. I'm already trying to forget what I read. I'm my opinion, it doesn't work.
