Two memes! The first one, seen fricking everywhere:

Pick up the nearest book to you.
Turn to page 45.
The first sentence describes your sex life in 2012.

"Intuition is very important to the world of science because so much great science begins with it." This is a book called "Don't be such a scientist: talking substance in an age of style", which looks to be quite interesting. But I'm not sure what it has to do with my sex life.

(I'll note that the second-nearest book was John Scalzi's Old Man's War, in which case the answer was "Everyone we ever knew or loved was there." Kinky!)

Then an iTunes meme, ganked from sorchasilver.
