Reading My Sir Francis Bacon Fortune Cookie

Posted by John Lockwood on September 5th, 2007

I love fortune cookies.

Maybe I’m just hungry now, thinking about Chinese food, but the quote I saw on Google Desktop, which ultimately comes from the Quotations Page, struck me as being a lot like a fortune cookie:

“A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds.”

– Sir Francis Bacon

(Mmmm… unexplained Bacon).

I’m hoping this is true, and that it’s my fortune for what I’m going to do now that I’ve lost a bit of ground in the search engines, which happened recently.

And here I thought gaining that ground was making more opportunities than I found.

You mean I have to do it AGAIN???

Well, I guess that’s what’s meant by bringing home the Bacon.

Anyway, I better get going on this appointment I have, or I’m going to miss my opportunity for dinner, Chinese or otherwise.
