The Fortune Cookie Manufacturers' Association of America will establish a new standard for fortune cookies. At the fortune cookie factory, operators enter messages in a computer, with are added to a database as wells a printed on RFID tags, which are placed in cookies.
Diners in Chinese restaurants
will be given an RFID wand that they can use to scan a bowl of fortune cookies. The wand will be connected wirelessly through the internet to the fortune cookie database, and display each cookie's message on an LCD. The diners will therefore be able to select a cookie that contains an appropriate and appreciated message.
For backward compatibility, the wand will also contain an X-Ray source to radiate the cookie, and X-Ray screen to be placed on the other side of the cookie, allowing the user to read the messages enclosed in old-fashioned fortune cookies.

Of course, all the good fortunes would get picked first,
leaving a bowl full of bad ones. Thus enabling the restaurant
to advertise promotions along the lines of "New batch of
fortune cookies just received from the bakery! Book your
reservations early, before all the good fortunes are taken." |

Alternatively, if you could disguise the technology in a normal-appearing fortune cookie, you could create some proximate near-term predictions that could really screw with the recipient's mind. |

It's kind of cheating but...I like it. |

On a side note; I've scoped out your profile page a few times now and I can't help but notice how long it is.
If you paste this [link] into your favorites list, you can access them any time and still be able to put something a tad more personal on your profile page. |
