Fortunes Through the Years

I was cleaning my office today—something I haven't done in over 2 years (sigh)— and came across a bunch of fortunes from fortune cookies that I have apparently been saving for a rainy day.

I decided it would be better to record them here digitally and toss the little slips of paper. So, here are some fortunes that I have received in the past from the great soothsayers of our times: fortune cookies!

1. A thrilling time is in your immediate future

2. You will be successful through innovation and determination

3. You will enjoy good health and financial independence

4. You will attract cultured and artistic people to your home

5. You have great physical powers and an iron constitution

With respect to 1: I, unfortunately, don't remember if that one came true. (Sad, I know.)

With respect to 2: I think my record speaks for itself.

With respect to 3: I'm still waiting for the latter to come true.

With respect to 4: All of my friends and family are cultured and artistic, so this wasn't much of a fortune.

With respect to 5: Sometimes these fortunes get a little personal.

Enjoy!

Volcanos on Io

The New Horizons spacecraft recently flew by Jupiter on its way to the former planet (now dwarf planet) Pluto. It captured this spectacular shot of a volcano erupting on Io. Fantastic stuff! More photos are available on the New Horizons website.
