Futurists

Want to learn the future? The technique of divining the future by interpreting laughter is called Geloscopy, while divining by interpreting currents in water is called Bletonism.

We all engage in divination of one sort or another. We buy lottery tickets based on "lucky" numbers, we invest in stocks we think will rise due to the prediction of a stockbroker, we read the horoscopes.
None of these things work. We don't need research to prove this - we KNOW they don't work. So why do we keep buying lottery tickets and stocks?
We are, at heart, optimists, one and all. We all live with hope - hope that our number will be picked, that we'll find true love today, that the third time's the charm. We cannot live without it.

They say that a man with no water will survive, if he has hope, but a man without hope will die, even in a mansion. If you want to make a name for yourself, or do some good in this world, inspire some hope.


In ballet, a pas des deux is a dance for two people, and a pas de quatre is a dance for four. However, a dance for one is a variation.
