Your face is your fortune. It’s written in the stars, on the lines of your palm and apparently also in your choice of a favorite cloud in the sky. I kid you not.
A good friend of mine visited a fortune teller for the first time recently. We’d discussed the possibility of doing this before just to satisfy our curiosity eventhough both of us are born sceptics. We’d both hesitated and put off doing so because even if we knew enough to take everything with a healthy pinch of salt, we weren’t sure we’d be able to withstand the power of suggestion and that seed of doubt that would linger on.
So anyway, she did it for fun and because not only was the “Mythologist”, as he calls himself, highly recommended, but he also speaks perfect English. This is handy especially if you don’t want a lot of things lost in translation. We’d all like our money’s worth and let’s face it, fortune telling is already vague as it is without the further complication of language.
For obvious reasons, I can’t reveal what he told her, but she came out not that much wiser about her future then when she went in. She had a few words of advice though. When faced with a fortune teller, do try to reign in the scepticism and keep your expressions bland. These people are attuned to body language and this will affect what and how much they tell you. And the other thing was, to get the most ‘benefit’, it’d probably be a good idea to seek a consultation only when you have pressing need, like for example when you’re at some crossroads of life. Otherwise you’d have nothing to ask him and whatever he’d say would carry no weight and very little meaning.
Now for a little experiment you can try at home. If the top tip of your ear is aligned to the end of your eyebrow and the bottom is aligned to the top of your upper lip, then you are destined for greatness. Of course if you have an asymmetrical face like mine, this begs the question: which ear? Or must it be both? These are questions you must ask the next face reader you meet, ‘cos I sure as hell don’t know! Heh, that’s another career choice down the drain...

Face reading? (Are you kidding??;)
Of course not, it's just another art of fortune telling.
(have you measured your ears yet?)
i've heard of it before.
so.. erm.. u use a ruler to measure?? most pple's faces r asymetrical..
i think i'm destined for greatness..if i dun use a ruler (i used my hand) ;p
smiles,
yup i used a ruler..and it looks like only the left half of my body is destined for greatness, the other side is doomed for failure. So.. Master-Face-Reader Jackie says that means it balances out: I'm destined for mediocrity ;)
talking about mediocrity, know wat happened to DM??
