I found a 25000 Dinar in a used book I bought. I did a search, and on WikiPedia I found it was worth a little over $3 in the 70s. Now it is worth around $22. On eBay, the price is even higher. Whoa. I would have preferred a few more numbers. Like maybe at least $25,000 ... more would be even better.

Gee ... I would have thought the Jane Austen readers would have jumped on the find in the post above.
There are reworkings of Jane Austen's books turning them into zombie stories, but I don't much care for zombies, so didn't bother sharing.

Thanks, TG. Rachel is already making plans for the costume she'll wear to the next Con.
I came across an interesting idea on Facebook. Grab the book nearest you, turn to page 56, find the fifth sentence on the page, and post it, along with these instructions. Don't try to find a book that's profound or funny, or is your favorite. Just grab whatever's closest.
Here's mine:
"Attempt to bring humor to FRIDAY THE 13TH formula doesn't quite click, either." ~from a review of "April Fool's Day" in "Leonard Maltin's 2002 Movie and Video Guide"

Oooo, sounds fun, Siren.
"It will give you great power when you are at peace with it." ~ from "Put Your Heart on Paper; Staying Connected in a Loose-ends World" by Henriette Anne Klauser.
It's neat book about getting back the lost art of letter writing. I haven't read it except for some browsing; it's been on the shelf for a while, and was the first one I grabbed for this post. I should find the time to read it one day.

Ooo, ooo...what she said, Siren!
Except I have one book in reach of my desk, besides the MW, of course...
"Thanks for being my family."-from "Xena--The Complete Illustrated Companion". It's quoting Gabrielle to Xena in the description to the plot of "Athens City Academy of the Performing Bards".

I'm such an old fuddy-duddy, I couldn't help but wonder if they put as much thought into their wedding vows as they did to the choreography.

I'm such an old fuddy-duddy, As one old fuddy-duddy to another could you check out the games threads in the Television section when you have a moment Siren, Gams and myself are waiting with bated breath to find out the answer.

Siren: I made the thread an announcement so you could see the thread Kat is referring to. I'll take it down when you answer their question.
