Utopia is a book that was written by Sir Thomas More way back in the day. The title is Greek, meaning "no place, nowhere". Today's usage of the term comes from the book! I would have loved to get my hands on an actual copy, but there weren't any at my local library, and I didn't feel like driving to Cupertino. Instead, I found & copied the full text from a link on wikipedia's Utopia page. I also went to google's book search to find an actual scan. I found the middle by using my text editor to count the lines of the text, and simply dividing by two. My copy has the middle of the text at line 313, but yours may vary, depending on the source.

I want to hear the line. It'll be like bibliomancy.
Tell us and I will vote, because this is cool.
I think this is much better than most of the visual interpretations of "nowhere", but I don't actually know what result you've come up with. Middle line? Middle word? Middlemost character?
