according to wiki, fortune cookies were invented by Japanese American's in California. The name Chinese fortune cookies came about during WWII and it stuck. The use of them as a desert also became a Chinese tradition in US.

Actually I should have said titled this: "favorite/clever chinese fortune cookie fortunes." I was trying to get others to post some of their own and not some much comment on mine.

Wow! 
I guess we barely see the aliens in the book... And it is a best seller (I think?), so worth to adapt!

My three body problem is trying to get into bed after my wife and our cat have claimed the bed. My wife isn't a bed hog - the 20 lb cat on the other hand can take up the entire bed.

Decades ago they said the same thing about Lord of the Rings...whether they were successful or not depends on your perspective I guess, but given the awards it's received, and the amount of money they made...I'd say that worked out.
I'm not familiar with this particular book, so in what way are you thinking it's unadaptable? Visuals should not be a problem nowadays.

From what I remember of it, it's a pretty hard science (read: slow and no 'splosions) book. Also, the plot revolves around the main character trying to solve a computer puzzle (it's been a while). So a lot of internal dialog. I suppose they could add a bit of action or other conflict, but it would definitely be a different story.
True on LotR. The earlier attempts were no where near Jackson's (who also added a lot more action - and fewer songs - than in the books)

Does Routine give rise to Habits, or do Habits give rise to Routine? 
How does either one affect the work that you do? 
Is there a difference between the two?

A habit is that I wash a glass before filling it. It's a habit to delete every part of crap on a new PC. I check my posts for spelling errors as both a habit and a routine
A routine is writing exception catchers. It's a routine to use an explicit type, not var. It's a routine to use the interface and not the type directly.
Yes, there's a difference. A habit is something you do without thinking, meaning everything your mom told you to do before you leave the house; are your hairs presentable? Do you have a clean handkerchief? No spots on your jeans?
A routine is something you're used to doing that you can do it, without thinking. Think a bricklayer; would you even dare ask him if it is routine or habit. Go ask you're miss if she is routine, or habit?

She's a routine habit.

Good programming practices are called as programming habits.
The only programming routines I've heard of are FORTRAN routines (subroutines) and those in VB

Putting on my socks and shoes is a routine. Putting the left sock on before the right sock, the left shoe before the right shoe, is a habit.

My routines often involve my habits good and bad.
For instance, my routine of taking a break after every phone call, code victory, code stump, or just anxiety involves getting up and walking. Unfortunately, it's usually walking to the workshop/smoking den where I indulge my habit.

Given that this routine uses timers, I can estimate that distractions cost an additional 15 minutes each of productivity, or around 2 hours per day on average!
