So, I got a fortune cookie with a weird fortune...kudos to whoever can figure out what it actually means:
"Confucius say: lovers in triangle not on square."
Yeah...huh?

Edit: Thanks people who responded...it seems I very much disagree with the statement. But man, that was annoyingly worded...

Lover's triangles = unbalanced?

It looks to me like a purposeful "mistranslation" of something along the lines of "A love triangle is not sqaured away, i.e. One should not be in a love triangle."

I think it's rather obvious to anyone who knows certain facts about me that I disagree with this statement.

"On the square" can be used to refer to a deal that is honest, so I think the implication is that love triangles imply dishonesty in the relationship. Confucius, it seems, was not poly-friendly.

Or he just didn't think poly folks were good at square-dancing. Or maybe 4-square.
