Bocca Della Verita is a novelty device that purportedly reads your love life, health and luck. It’s located at various malls throughout the Klang Valley and takes 2 x 20 cent coins for a glimpse into your (questionable) future.
I can haz ur hand for breakfast?
We were early for our Quantum of Solace screening so we succumbed to this tourist trap (couple trap?) machine to read our respective prospects.
The Mouth of Truth spat out the following:
My girlfriend:
Sometimes it seems that fortune deliberately plays with us, do not despair.
You don’t like others to rush you.
You don’t have much faith in human nature.
Do small things as if they were great.
Beware of carrying passions to excess; this can have disastrous or tragic results.

Myself:
You know how to make good use of your intellectual strengths.
Plenty of people see the truth but cannot attain it…keep trying.
Your sedentary habits risk ruining your health.
You must wager. There is no choice, you are already committed.
A more regular life style and a little bit of exercise can save you from the health problems you are prone to.
Tired nerves and anxiety makes you apprehensive. You seem almost incapable of ever achieving tranquility.

I don’t know how much of this is self-fulfilling prophecy but it seems that I’m getting really accurate results. The statements are all true, and I am a leaning towards the unhealthy side due to renal and liver issues (as well as my ongoing tobacco and ethanol consumption, which I’m sure isn’t helping). I consider myself very lucky and I certainly can’t complain about the carnal aspects of my existence. *shrugs*
I am gonna put my hand in the device again and see if I get the same results. It’s a little like a fortune cookie – I’m a huge advocate of horoscopes and it’ll be interesting to see if it, or this, gives out consistent results. 🙂
Heh. You’re over at PJ now?
PHB, you should try the second time to see if you have the same result.
Myst3
Gee! Urs certainly looks accurate…especially the health and lifestyle…AND the sex bit! LOL!!!
nice
o, looks like sex got the most points in the list XD
This thing has been around since I was in primary/high school. I wonder how much money does this thing makes from people.
I tried that machine before. Can’t really tell whether it’s accurate or not. So did you try for the 2nd time to prove the consistency of the results?
Well life is not from forture tellings it still your hard work and seeing what in front of you and make a go at it. You learn from mistakes in order to better yourself.
Must guide yourself in life in which path to take. Take care.
Has anyone put anything other than a coin in it? ;p I’m getting somewhat addicted to horoscopes. I’m trying to get my all my friends to tell me their horoscopes (both western and eastern) to see if horoscope compatability is really true. :p
it’s only 40cents/try? then i also want to go try! all the while i tot its rm2/read. lol.
Hey man!
I am the guy who walked up and introduced myself to you yesterday at the Curve. Nice to have finally met your acquaintance.
Hello there! It’s a pleasure to bump into you at the Curve. It’s good to hear from you. Have a great day, buddy.
No one comments on the word Verita(s) seen on this machine?!
*sigh*
I miss his posts, but am glad HB has turned his life around for the better
😉
It’s good to see you here, my friend. 🙂
I think the old breed of sixthseal.com readers who remembers veritas is far and few in between. It can be a blessing. 🙂
HB, Did you ever log on to free I Ching reading?It just for fun too. Got lot very interesting readings from it.
Ur kidding right?!?!? I would’ve thought a smart guy like u would be d last to fall for the con of a ‘shoot-random-response-with-generic-statements-that-would-be-true-for-anyone” fortune telling machine!
