i view fortune cookies as the lowest rung in the random wisdom racket. i mean, i do read my horoscope from time to time. but it's usually when i am seeking guidance and ANY advice will help. it's better to go with rob brezny's weekly counseling for gemini (i'm an aquarius) than it is to flail about.
on the other hand, i hate fortune cookies. as desserts go, they're not very good. maybe if the message was hidden inside a moist, delicious cake. or a fruit pie.
Yeah, I agree with fortune cookies not being a great dessert. As I see them primarily as a vector for little scraps of paper, the little bit of flavored sugar and flower is sorta "bonus!" rather than actually considered cuisine. And including fortunes with other desserts would kinda be cheating unless it was really clever.
I do disagree about the "lowest rung" thing. The spastic mutters on on our local corners are far lower in content than a fortune cookie. Sure, one of them may be a wise old woman, who, if we don't pay her dire waring due attention, will curse us... but there really is no way to distinguish her from the other cussing crack-heads.
