I just opened up a fortune cookie and it had no fortune inside. Is my life about to take a turn for the unpredictably chaotic? Am I going to die? What does this mean?

Means you should open up a can o' whoop ass on those Chinese for denying you your God given right to a fortune.

Nope. It just means that you're going to be eaten alive the moment you turn away from the computerscreen...

It means that you have to check the cylinders of your revolver to make sure it's really loaded.

I drop the mag on my pistol and check it every time I get an empty fortune cookie. Call me supersititious.

Pft. Love to see him try.

For a logical reason - They probably forgot to put one in there.

It means it slipped out of the crack and is sitting in the bottom of the bag...


run back to the restraunt and demand they fetch it for you.



What harm can it do? I'm sure they're already convinced your insane.

Actually, in response to its growing environmental problems related to ongoing industrialization, China has developed an "Earth-friendly" stance on fortune cookies called "cookie pooling".

Basically, to get a fortune, you eat with three other people, they bring you one fortune and you share it.

No, from the ammount of hot pepper I always ask them to add to my food they just think I'm a masochist.

That's never happened to me.

Oh well, it could have been worse. You could have had a fortune that read: YOU WILL BE EATEN BY A BIG, GREASY MONSTER. HAVE A NICE DAY.

Whoa... I read that as:

Heh, then you'd get the fortune,

It means you can start a thread on NS General about it. That's not too bad, now is it?

I'm not sure if it means that you have any future at all or not dictated by another source ....
but i am reasonably sure Lunatic Goofballs had something to do with it.
Or will, now that it seems you've outlined a sublime and rewarding mission - coveting others' fortunes of mind/spirit/soul. Muhahaha. *nods*
