Fortune cookies

I love Chinese food. Or, rather, I love the cheap American Chinese-esque food places like Panda Express ♥ that give you little wooden chopsticks (which, by the way, are an excellent dieting tool if you don't know how to eat with them) and, most importantly, fortune cookies.

Now, fortune cookies are just about as vague and useless as, say, horoscopes, and typically read the same way. "Travels will be in your future," or something similar, with nothing specific to them and no time constraints. I mean, leaving the restaurant could count as "traveling," making that prediction totally meaningless, or "future" could refer to a business trip you're forced to go on fifty years from now.

But, over the week I spent with my dad, I chanced upon a truly remarkable fortune from Pick Up Stix:

A wise man will soon enlighten you within the week.

Yes, "wise" and "enlighten" can be interpreted however vaguely you want, but two things are clear: It'll be a guy and it'll happen before January 8th, 2011, at 3:30 pm — precisely one week after I got that fortune.

... I'm waiting!
