Well, I'm hoping that from time to time, others will contribute to this thread when they get odd/interesting/funny fortunes, so we can all enjoy a light-hearted topic together.
I'd also be interested to know (from someone who is in a position to know*) if fortune cookies are an authentic Chinese food, or if it's just an American invention. I've eaten in some Chinese restaurants, and when I ask for a fortune cookie, they look at me like I've just grown another head.
Also, are there fortune cookies in other countries, outside of America?
Meanwhile, here are my odd fortunes from last night, which I would like some help understanding:
"Praise a fine day at night" What the h@ck does that mean?
"Only when free from projections, we can be aware of reality" So the fortune cookie writer is taking a psych class? What the . . . ?
Whatever happened to "You will travel to distant lands" or the one I never get "Money will shower upon you soon"?
*maybe you live in China, or are Asian, is what I mean by this, since it has bothered me for years, and I would like a definitive answer.
