I got an email from userfriendly.org today, announcing something that obviously needs to be pushed onto my wishlist…

oh. yeah!

I spotted this meme on Steve Holden’s blog.

• Grab the nearest book.
• Open it to page 56.
• Find the fifth sentence.
• Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
• Don’t dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.

So. In my case, the closest book to me when writing this post was Python phrasebook by Brad Dayley.

The fifth sentence on page 56 is as follows:

Defining a list in Python is a simple matter of assigning a number of Python objects to a variable name using the = operator.

So now you know.
