One I actually got: “Confucius say: You will visit Hong Kong in October of 1995.” That one was just so specific that it came off seeming like a threat. I never had any idea why that particular time was used. Another that I actually got, which was freaky for me: "Fortuna is coming your way. Lucky numbers 7, 18, 4, 11. " I assume “fortuna” was a typo for “fortune”, however at that point in time I knew a person whose last name was Fortuna who was indeed headed my way in the near future…my birthday is 7/18 and his was 4/11. That was just STRANGE. ---

“Sorry, no fortune today. Try again tomorrow.” “If we thought you were actually going to eat that fortune cookie, we wouldn’t have made it out of styrofoam.” I also wonder how all of the spam ads from my inbox would look as fortune cookies. ---
