I got the strangest fortune cookie today, the likes of which I’ve never seen. In a tone I associated with a sci-fi robot leader giving orders to hypnotized humans, it said:
Only listen to the fortune cookie;
disregard all other fortune telling units.
Fortune telling units?
You’ll note the sophisticated sentence structure, with correct use of semi-colon. What is going on? Who wrote this fortune cookie message? And will the uber-robot be coming back in another form to give us further instructions???

When your food speaks to you–or in this case writes to you– you’d better listen. I don’t know where that thing came from, but having never seen a semi-colon used properly in a fortune cookie before, I’m highly suspicious. You should handle it with tongs from now on and perhaps notify your local G-Men.
(thanks for the mention! I’m going down to N.O. and hope to get some more photos and video of Katrina-induced weirdness)
I’ll be back.

Glad you stopped in.
Your advice is wise, but too late. I taped the thing to my laptop, just to the left of the trackpad.
I did not play the numbers as lotto numbers, though perhaps I should have…
