The Number 123

I was tagged by Gurn a week or so back, and now Annalee has also done so, so I should perhaps fall in line (pfft, like that'll ever happen).

The rules: -

1. Grab the nearest book (that is at least 123 pages long).
2. Open to page 123.
3. Go to the 5th sentence.
4. Type in the following 3 sentences.
5. Tag five people.

It's hard to say exactly what the closest book to me is, given that my bookshelf is less than 2 feet from my right arm, so I picked the first book from my shelf - The Human Mind.

"This is, of course, the feature of the brain that makes movies and TV possible - we don't see twenty-four frames a second flashing across the screen, but experience them as a harmonious whole. Consciousness is not an instantaneous experience - it takes time to build itself, and the brain covers up for its own time lag.

Some 120 years later, Benjamin Libet at the University of Southern California became interested in this time lag."

I tag EVERYONE!
