Read an online fortune cookie

This is the home of my free online fortune cookie. Read a random fortune cookie any time you want to. I've been adding to the pool of possible fortunes for quite awhile now. Today, 20mar09, the list hit 300.

I've been known to make my own custom fortune cookies at a bakery here in Seattle. Here are instructions on how to make your own fortune cookies at home. It's easier to have Tsue Chong do it for me.

I think we can both agree that my fortune cookies will cause more of an uproar than these fortune cookies. I get to speak my mine honestly and unabashedly. Those other guys have to remain "mainstream" and "consumer friendly". That ain't me.

Our beloved friends at Wikipedia says that fortune cookies contain "a piece of paper with words of faux wisdom or vague prophecy". Sound familiar?

I like this fortune cookie site too. I'm not UNIX geek and that's why I don't use the UNIX program fortune. You can also make your own fortune cookie in PHP. If I hadn't already rolled my own in JavaScript, I'd use it myself. Lastly, going from the virtual to the real (or surreal in this case), check out weird fortune cookies dot com.
