Fortune Cookie Fortune: Need a translation
I received the following mysterious fortune in a fortune cookie recently, I wonder if anyone can hazard an English translation?
"After readying the every emotion, I see some understanding peer entering realm."
"After readying the every emotion, I see some understanding peer entering realm."
It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that schwing

It hasn't escaped your notice, MarMil, that a slip of paper is claiming to have the gift of eyesight? I hope you kept that thing, it would seem that it should be examined more closely.Martin Milner wrote:

Re: Fortune Cookie Fortune: Need a translation
Quite. I was under the impression the fortune was predicting the accession of Prince Charles to the throne, after checking that the majority of the UK population weren't averse to the idea. I was thinking foresight, not eyesight.emmline wrote:It hasn't escaped your notice, MarMil, that a slip of paper is claiming to have the gift of eyesight?

Yes, I still have it, it's my souvenir of a fun evening spent on Long Island playing miniature golf & go-karting.
Babel Fish (English to Japanese):After readying the every emotion, I see some understanding peer entering realm.
Babel Fish (Japanese to English)あらゆる感情を用意した後、私は理解の同等者の入る王国を見る。
Is that clearer?After preparing all feelings, I look at the kingdom where the equal person of understanding enters.
