I See Great Pain In Your Future

So I just saw this story about a plastic surgeon in Japan who will alter the lines in your palm so that your fortune will be more desirable. (Warning: the link is predictably gross.)  But wait, there's more: the lines are made by burning them in.  Rather than go on a big rant, I'll just invite you to meditate on all the layers of stupidity that are present in this story.  Keep in mind that it could all turn out to be a hoax, so you can add cruel Internet hoaxes and the fact that we can no longer tell satire from reality as two more layers.

But just so you don't go away with no faith in humanity, here's a link about how an old Walmart in McAllen, Texas was turned into America's largest one-floor library.
