I keep getting crappy common knoledge tidbits like "It is better to be wise than to be rich."

or

"If you wish you be like someone else, you waste the person you are."

I didn't ask for self improvement, I want the future damnit.
I remember caring... It was nice.

Fortune Cookies are an American thing, invented be a Chinese restaurant owner to amuse his customers a long time ago. They were later introduced to China as "The American Fortune Cookie." Unless I've been misinformed again, which tends to hapen every once in a while.

I once got a fortune that said " :D God has given you once face, and you make yourselves another :D ." Which is not so much a fortune, as it is a direct quote from "Hamlet." :evil:

I've got a pretty good track record of getting cookies with multiple fortunes. Probably happens every 1 in 10 cookies or so, most often at a restaurant. I even got a cookie with THREE fortunes in it once :o .

One time, I got a really asinine fortune, so I ate it with the cookie. Strangly enough, I forgot what the fortune was.

That's just China cuisine's way of telling you to MAKE UP YOUR MIND.

Ah, no wonder Fortune Cookies are a big business in America. Maybe I should introduce those cookies in my country. It sounds pretty fun.

They're just one of those things that's expected at a cheap Chinese buffet or take-out place. The cookies aren't really that good-tasting (I think they're just sugar and flour with some vanilla extract mixed in) but they're a bit of tradition now.
