		<description><![CDATA[Found on Meyerweb: try to Google your first name, prepending &#8220;unfortunately&#8221;.

Unfortunately Geoff is utter crap at telling jokes!
 I can&#8217;t dispute that. There&#8217;s a reason I studied Engineering and not comedy.
In its original dust jacket, a first edition of Tarzan of the Apes is worth about $75000 &#8211; unfortunately Geoff doesn&#8217;t yet have one.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Found on <a title="Unfortunately Eric" href="http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2006/02/09/unfortunately-eric/">Meyerweb</a>: try to <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Unfortunately+Geoff%22">Google your first name, prepending &#8220;unfortunately&#8221;</a>.</p>
<ul>
<li>Unfortunately Geoff is utter crap at telling jokes!<br />
<em> I can&#8217;t dispute that. There&#8217;s a reason I studied Engineering and not comedy.</em></li>
<li>In its original dust jacket, a first edition of Tarzan of the Apes is worth about $75000 &#8211; unfortunately Geoff doesn&#8217;t yet have one.<br />
<em> Geoff didn&#8217;t even want one, until he learned it was worth 75G!</em></li>
<li>Unfortunately, Geoff died several years ago.<br />
<em> Damn, somebody could&#8217;ve told me about that.</em></li>
<li>Unfortunately Geoff did not in the early days have the benefit of a competent and experienced gambist with a clear concept of sound: we were all fumbling in&#8230;<br />
<em> To this day, I still don&#8217;t have a good gambist.</em></li>
<li>Unfortunately, Geoff was too available to one of his friend&#8217;s who was addicted to heroin &#8212; and this cost.<br />
<em> Really? I&#8217;m unsure of the exact cost, and who was addicted. But apparently the addiction is in the past tense, so everything&#8217;s OK now.</em></li>
<li>Unfortunately, Geoff was found too late.<br />
<em> Too late for what? Maybe this has something to do with my death, several years ago. Perhaps they found my body too late to inform me.</em></li>
<li>Unfortunately, Geoff&#8217;s regression checker took a snapshot within this short window.<br />
<em> Sounds like there was some issue in that sort window&#8230; now I have no protection against regressing.</em></li>
<li>Unfortunately, Geoff and Carolyn are those people, and there are thousands more who pour untreated contaminants and detergent directly into the storm sewers&#8230;<br />
<em> I thought that&#8217;s what they were for! And who&#8217;s Carolyn? I don&#8217;t believe I know her.</em></li>
<li>Unfortunately Geoff didn&#8217;t realize that he was exhibiting classic symptoms of macular degeneration.<br />
<em> Yeah, that could be true. I still don&#8217;t realize that.</em></li>
<li>Unfortunately, Geoff was right.<br />
<em> I fail to see how that&#8217;s unfortunate. It&#8217;s expected, really.</em></li>
</ul>

Take the lyrics to a favorite song.
Go to Google Language Tools and translate the lyrics into German; then from German to French; and finally from French back into English.
Post the results verbatim.
Invite your friends to guess the song based on the newly mangled lyrics.

Grab the nearest book. Don&#8217;t search for something cool. Grab what&#8217;s actually closest to you.
Open the book to page 123.
Find the fifth sentence.
Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.

<p>Man, my books must seem pretty dull.</p>
<p>Edit: That line was actually from page 125 of the book I&#8217;m reading; I accidently opened to the wrong page&#8230; Oh well.</p>
