Fortune Cookies

Typical Chinese restaraunts give cookies containing fortunes at the end of your meal (the one I go to regularly also gives Andies Candies but that's beside the point); on one occasion -my birthday in fact- I got a fortune that said "You will inherit a large sum of money".  To say the least, I was amused; I kept the fortune, and began collecting them.  My collection has grown significantly over the past two and a half years, though my site's collection remains small simply for the fact that I don't have the time to sort through the fortunes and type them all in.
