    I wish I could claim this as my own but alas, it was just a Facebook post. It's still worth sharing though.

    It should only count if it's a fortune you received after a meal

    But here on the forum, it's no-holds-barred, so whatev, right?

    No problem can stand the assault of sustained thinking.
    In contrast 'No thinking can stand the assault of sustained problems.'

    Dang, I could so write fortune cookies. Does it pay more than publishing a martial arts mag?

    Valentine's Day fortune

    Education will never be as expensive as ignorance.
    I'm going to pass this along to all of my friends with outstanding student loans.

    I had lunch in Berkeley last week...

    ...with Peter Lorge. He knew the 'in bed' spin on fortune cookies and referred to them as Japanese temple crackers.

    Sing and rejoice, fortune is smiling on you

    Man, I wish I'd got that one, ShaolinDan.

    This is what I got last time:
    Diligence and modesty can raise your social status.

    From last week...

    Courtesy is one habit that never goes out of style.
    This is sort of a 'pearls before swine' fortune for our forum here, sad to say.

    From today...

    I just drove back from a wedding in L.A. I am tired. It was a lot of partying with good friends, old and new. For that reason, I can't make sense of this.

    Good sense is the master of human life.

    You know this one is authentic

    meant to post this last week

    Never ignore a gut feeling, but never believe that it's enough.
    I've been placing my fortunes on my keyboard to post here when I get the chance. This one blew off and I just found it on the floor.

    Been staring at this one for days now...

    Live in THIS moment.
    I got this one just this week too:
    Give assistance, not advice, in a crisis.

    I've kept the "Live in THIS moment" fortune on my keyboard

    Heroism is endurance for one moment more.
    Part of this thread experiment is that I'm fascinated by the random synchrony of any fortune telling system. I dabbled in Tarot for a spell, mostly after reading Jung. And of course, I am instrumental in translating our horoscopes from Feng Shui Master Wilson Sun, which I've been doing for over a decade now. Truth be told, I'm very skeptical of astrology. My scientific training rejects it. But I've made a study of it for our horoscopes column, and am an avid reader of certain astrologers in hopes of cultivating their writing skills. Master Sun has made some amazingly resonate predictions. And I'm a firm believer in the phenomenon of Mercury-in-retrograde, partly for its scientifical absurdity, but mostly for that synchronous resonance. Lately, these silly fortune cookies have become unsettlingly resonate for me too, which I suppose is a mark of success for this experiment here.

    Man-found-dead-inside-dough-mixer

    HOUSTON – An investigation is underway in the apparent accidental death of a man found inside an industrial dough mixer at a midtown business, Houston police said.
    The 26-year-old victim was an employee of the Wonton Food Corporation located at 2902 Caroline Street.
    Police said a fellow employee found the man deceased in the machine at about 12:10 p.m. on Sunday. The victim had been operating the machine.
    His identity has not been released.
    Investigators said no foul play is suspected in the case and an autopsy will be performed by the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences.

    Wait... What? Come on now. Care to expand on that?

    You're a pretty good writer, BTW. I've always enjoyed how you throw down in that respect. So yeah... Respect.


    I didn't look for any news of this outside of your link, but I have to wonder how that can even happen. It amazes me how some people come by trouble. I mean, shit happens, right. But not that! Either he's an absolute moron or them be some extraordinary circumstances. Like I don't know what. Like the idiot who gets his tie caught in the paper shredder. We've all done dumb shit, but that's on a different level right there.
