The first letter of each word could spell "Fuck you, clown." That would be pretty feast.

Lipped her delicious hands and had my ease.

47, 50: Doesn't the following seem iffy to you? It seems like searching for a correlation after the fact.
The study was truly blind. Although the observers were acquainted with our previous studies on magnetic alignment in animals and could have consciously or unconsciously biased the results, no one, not even the coordinators of the study, hypothesized that expression of alignment could have been affected by the geomagnetic situation, and particularly by such
subtle changes of the magnetic declination. The idea leading to the discovery of the correlation emerged after sampling was closed and the first statistical analyses (with rather negative results, cf. Figure 1) had been performed.
Also I wasn't impressed by their discussion of the possible confounding factor of the position of the sun. The fact that they didn't formally control for it seems a pretty serious flaw, whatever their protestations of the implausibility of a correlation.

Toni Basil is 70 years old. I would not have guessed that.
I would have guessed that, in about fifteen years.
In decreasing order of age for people named Toni/Tony, it goes Basil, Orlando, Danza, Blair. I would have gotten more than half of the pair-wise comparisons wrong.
Note: This isn't an exhaustive list of people named Toni/Tony.
Jammies hasn't read the thread, and I've been randomly impulsive about which ones to share with him, but so far "Ceci n'est pas une brique" is in the lead. Does the syntax for saying "This is a brick" in french visually resemble the same line?
Although I kind of like the sentient brick theme as well. And frankly, if 44 fit, that would be the obvious choice.
You want the affirmative? I think that would just be Ceci est une brique.
It's also a shame that 136 is too long.

Damn. I am reminded again of that horrible mistake in that movie. They're looking for the Grail, so it is Christological. The clue is "the Word of God". And they come up with a name. But the name they use is "Jehovah"! Christologically it should be "Jesus". I was totally expecting Indy to fail because of that. And another thing, why does this ancient repository have a tile with the letter "J"?
There, I feel better. (I know that I might be the only person here who was, and is, bothered by this matter.) Back to graven images in Texas.

Maybe the clue was "the word for 'God'"?

I think we're going with "Ceci n'est pas une brique." We feel it ages well, and doesn't make us look like we're making fun of our town, and Jammies didn't really hear of the Fuck You Clown thread enough to enjoy the joke.
I can't believe that you aren't going with the clown-p/orn.
