Take a scroll through some bizarre, head-scratching fortunes that somehow made their ways into cookies. WTF, fortune cookie? Fortune cookies tend to have a 50:50 satisfying-to-disappointing ratio. Sometimes, you'll get a cookie that's stale, soggy and obviously past its expiration date. What's most disappointing, though, is when your fortune — a term that, for the sake of this post, we'll be using quite loosely — is less inspirational and more ... you know .. WTF-y. A quick Twitter search of the hashtag "#fortunecookie" revealed countless photos of fortunes that left users feeling a little short-changed. Scroll through some of the weirdest below....

A university graduate from Norfolk finds work as a scarecrow, frightening the birds from a field of crops.
It sounds like the ideal job - the chance to sit down, read a book and perhaps idly strum a ukulele.
But Bangor University graduate Jamie Fox has to do it in all weathers, as a human scarecrow in a field in Norfolk.
Mr Fox, 22, has been employed to scare partridges from a field of oilseed rape at Aylsham because conventional birdscarers have not worked.
As well as wearing a bright orange coat, Mr Fox uses an accordion and a cowbell to frighten the birds.
Mr Fox, who graduated in the summer with a degree in music and English, earns about £250 a week scaring the partridges from the 10-acre (four-hectare) field.
I ring a cowbell and I've even played the accordion, but the ukulele doesn't seem to have any effect on them”

These days, carrying around a full video rig is the last thing a journalist wants to do when in the middle of important breaking news. Thankfully, the smartphone is rapidly becoming the go-to option for capturing news as it happens, and the rise of HD quality video in such a small package means that more important and newsworthy moments are being captured and shared throughout the world.
