Fortune Cookies

Talk about fortune cookies and their fortunes. Here are some of the fortunes that I received:

"A clean tie attracts the soup of the day."

"Here we go. Low fat, whole wheat green tea."

"Only if you dive for pearls shall you find one."

"Perhaps you've been focusing too much on saving."

"A rolling stone gathers no moss...but it obtains a certain polish."

"It can't rain all the time."

Re: Fortune Cookies

Was there a Chinese word?

Did you know that fortune cookies were invented by the Japanese, not the Chinese, and is only popular in the US? If you go to China, the Chinese won't even know what fortune cookies are.

Re: Fortune Cookies

I somehow end up with some pretty bizarre fortunes from fortune cookies. The two most memorable ones are "What is the speed of dark?" (which I had eerily gotten from a dark-colored chocolate-flavored fortune cookie) and "You will receive a fortune... cookie.".

Re: Fortune Cookies

I rarely ever eat the cookies. I just read the fortunes.

+0.5

I only eat them if they're crunchy, and not stale and old (Not crunchy, but bendy... agh, too hard to explain the texture of it...).

The fortunes they make these days are getting bad. First, they had...

"You will surpass all others today."

Or...

"The darkness surrounding you will dissipate."

And now they have...

"The rocks around you are not to be tempered with."

Or...

"Nobody can fix your life if they don't want to."

I mean, they don't even make sense anymore!  mad

Speed of dark is the same as light  big_smile

But then there is all the REALLY complicated science stuff with it.
