Bah. I was just thinking... what if fortune cookies told us a real, unique future? What do you think yours would say?

mine: "You will be crushed by old friends jumping on you at nats this year"

I've got one here that I actually got out of a cookie:

"You would make a good lawyer"

Agh! No!
...Then I went and broke the code and opened another cookie from our take-out bag and it said:

"You will live a long and fruitful life"

Those two don't go together do they?
If there was one for me though it would say:

"42.1"

After my little adventure on the Baltimore/Washington Parkway today, I would have to say my fortune is:

"Never, ever take anything for granted, especially your brakes..."

If by interesting, you mean scary, then it was probably the most interesting thing I've ever done. I managed to pull my car onto the shoulder before I hit anything and I rode it out, and when it slowed down to about 3 miles an hour, something in the brake kicked in and stopped it. Other than the pure fear when I hit my brakes and nothing happened, the worse part was waiting in the car (turned off because of burning smell) in 97 degrees (heat index about 107) for 40 minutes for my friend to get there (I was closer to her house than home). I know why the brakes went (and I'm sheepishly refusing to say why) and now I'm waiting to hear from the mechanic to see if there was any permanent damage done, so my fortune for today is:

"Even small errors can be very costly."

"Get a life"


I really need to heed that one. And, of course, the over-used classic

"Whenever you get an idea forget it because you'll only mess things up."
btw do you guys add the phrase "in the bedroom" after you read your fortunes? That's something I've done ever since I can rememeber, I have no idea where it came from though because no one in my family said it until I brought it up one night...

My mother said she and her friends always said "between the sheets" and me and my friends always used "in bed" so I guess this is something that has been around for a long time!

"Too bad you didnt open me sooner, I would have told you that your life was going to be taken over by robots!"

or

"Dont worry, be happy"

I got a funny fortune once:
"If you mess with a squirrel's nuts, prepare to get bitten." :D

As well, I have a robotics story involving fortune cookies...

We ordered chinese and had a whole bag of cookies, and one guy on our team takes one and he opens it. It says, "The love of your life is right in front of you." He looked up and saw another guy on our team... Then another guy opened one that said, "The love of your life is hidden from your eyes." Looks beyond the thing in front of him and sees the same guy.

It ended up in a conversation of love triangles and squirrels. :rolleyes:

And of course we got back to building our robot! :D
