What's your fortune cookie?
 

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"

"It's a good thing you're illiterate."

"History is important, but don't forget the future."

"trial and error..."

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..."

just lost another one of my nine lives, only six left now

off topic....
 

hmmmmm, sounds interesting....

is it something that i'm going to wake up and read about in the paper tomorrow?
can't be too bad, you survived it (and can still type)...

"Beware of those you trust; for they will become evil doers against you."

Re: off topic....
 

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."

oh well, at least it answered one question I've always wondered about

"PI LOVE YOU!!"

:DDD Because Pi loves EVERYONE.

"Get a life"


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

"That wasn't chicken"

I know team 233 passed out customized robot ones at UCF i didnt get any but i saw them and my brother told me about it.

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!
