As usual, I'm late to the game with these things.

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

My result:

When an IP datagram is to be sent out an interface, if the size of the datagram exceeds the link MTU, fragmentation is performed by both IPv4 and IPv6. -- UNIX(R) Network Programming, vol. 1, 3rd ed. The Sockets Networking API.

This book lives on the leftmost edge of the bookshelf above my monitor. It recently survived a near-tragic incident involving a mug of tea and a power cable. It fights for 'nearest' with the other Stevens bibles on the shelf.
