Fun Fact #9

Lupe Fiasco, the lead singer of Japanese Cartoon(I'm also told he's some sort of rap guy) takes his stage name from the Quentin Tarantino film Pulp Fiction. There is a part in the film where Jimmie(Tarantino) is imposed upon by two gangsters. He is reluctant to help them because he does not normally do what they request ("When you came pulling in here, did you notice a sign out in front of my house that said 'Dead Letter Office'?") and also because his wife Bonnie is due home soon. In the Spanish dub of the film Jimmie's wife is named Lupe, and the segment is known as The Lupe Fiasco.

Sunday Cipher #36 - Cannoli of Destiny

After spending another satisfying day ridding a kindergarten's playground of pigeons with your Andy Roddick style super overhead slam shot, treating yourself to a meal at Giuseppe Wong's Hunan Ristorante was just what the doctor ordered. As you finish the last of your tea, the waiter drops your bill and a complimentary fortune cannoli. It's longer than you've ever seen a fortune cannoli, but damned if you don't still try to clear the shell of filling with the traditional single suck. Retrieving the 8 inch long strip of paper from your throat, you lean in to see your fortune. Oh! It's a coded message! Perhaps Esperanza has finally forgiven you and wants to rejoin the resistance's robot sex club! Can you decrypt the fortune!?
