Happy Chinese New Year! We're celebrating with fortune cookies. Made from humble flour, sugar, butter, milk and vanilla, these crunchy cookies and their prophecies can serve as everything from hilarious entertainment to weird compliments to advice on how to play the lottery.
Fortune cookies can predict the mundane or the outrageous, and chances are they're both comical and confusing. Here, the top 10 messages hidden inside:
10. "Good sense is the master of human life."
9. "You are free to invent your life."
8. "You are magnetic in your bearing."
Our list, as collected by Rinkworks.com, continues after the jump.
7. "Face facts with dignity."
6. "The night life is for you."
5. "There is a true and sincere friendship between you both."
4. "Your family is young, gifted and attractive."
3. "You are going to have some new clothes."
2. "Your smile will tell you what makes you feel good."
1. "You will find a bushel of money."

"you feel uncomfortable undressing outdoors" and "Einstein says, torpedo pants are not only stylish but comfortable too". To this day, I live my life by those words.

Strangest one I ever got... on my first night in a new city with a new career almost 4 years ago, we grabbed some Chinese food and my fortune cookie out of a huge group of people helping me move in was "You will prosper in the field of medical research". We all laughed our butts off at how random it was. However, I am writing this now sitting in a medical research lab where I've worked for the past 3 years. It was not what I came to town for but it strangely happened to be what I was trained to do but I had sworn I would not work in it anymore, hence the job change. So now I'm back at it and we're doing really exciting things. Incidently, I had forgotten all about it but my family had saved the fortune and framed it for me so it now sits on my desk in my office.
