Online Fortune Cookies

Posted in China, Cute by Elliott Back on May 22nd, 2007. [Del.icio.us]

Unfortunate is online fortune cookies. Social cookies!! It’s really cute, especially since you get to vote on the best and worst fortunate in their hall of fame, which currently are:

The best fortunates

  • Help! I’m trapped in a fortune cookie factory!
  • If you can do the robot, you can sneak into robot dance clubs.

The most unfortunate fortunes

  • Your food was poisoned.
  • George Bush is still president.

The Chinese is always a bit wrong, but they assure me they’re working on it. They get data from CEDict, which is potentially flawed as it is user-editable. One funny Chinese bug right now is that the pinyin “chuzu qiche” comes up way more frequently than it should, sometimes in hilarious contexts.
