I once got a fortune cookie reading "Love is the law, love under will".
Aliester Crowley in my fortune cookies, man.

My mom and I had lunch together at a Chinese place yesterday. Her fortune cookie had a bible verse in it.

Sounds like someone needs to open up the "stick with your wife" barrel...

You know, I have never posted an FPP to Metafilter because I always felt too intimidated.
I have to wonder why.

Decani, people take this site far too seriously sometimes. 'Post and be happy.' You can put that on a fortune cookie if you like.

My favorite one ever said, "You will receive a fortune (cookie)." And I'll be damned if it wasn't telling the truth.

A couple of years ago I got a fortune cookie that read, "Enjoy life while you can". All of my dining mates agreed that sounded a bit ominous.
I've tried to soldier on since then, but do you have any idea how hard it is to enjoy life while constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop??
I feel that YouTube guy's pain.

I always get a kick out of this classic Upright Citizens Brigade Fortune Cookie sketch.

Both the main post's video and the (New) Twilight Zone clip from Smart Dalek needed more fortunes to build the premise, which the Upright Citizens sketch did better at. But Elliot Gould was so cute wih his little mustache...
Of course you can always game the system with custom fortunes.

My favorite was the one that said "Ignore previous cookie."

Once, my aunt got a cookie that said, "Be open to new experiences." We all said, "In bed!" and had a chuckle.
Then my uncle opened his cookie. It read, "All your friends will soon be joining you."

I liked this.
One totally random reaction to this video:
How in god's name is it that every man, woman and child on this entire planet besides me seems to have on their wall that annoying French cat poster visible right here?

I just realized that the oft-quoted bible verse is John 3:16 not 3:13. I'm not much of a bible person.
