I got the best fortune cookie fortune ever.

I got lunch at our favorite American-style Chinese restaurant (you know what I mean -- not like what [livejournal.com profile] copperpoint is eating these days, and also not what you get in "Polynesian-Chinese" restaurants), and I got the best fortune cookie EVER at the end of it. Better than the one my sister got that one time, "You are not paranoid; we ARE out to get you."

It said, "You are about to become $8.95 poorer ($6.95 if you got the buffet)."

Why a duck? Why-a not a chicken?

Because ducks are sinister.

very funny - who wrote this song, and who is singing?

My understanding, from this blog post by Neil Gaiman where I originally found the song, is that it was written by Translucia Babboon (who is currently residing in the body of Alan Moore).

Thanks for sending the links. I didn't know that Alan Moore wrote V for Vendetta. I enjoyed reading his bio and about his interactions with the film industry. Things can certainly get strange when people are more interested in the money than the art.

That's a waltz, not a march.
