FORTUNE TELLING

IT HAS LONG BEEN A CUSTOM IN MY FAMILY (STARTED BY
MY DAD) TO PREDICT THE FUTURE BY STUDYING THE
ARRANGEMENT OF TEA LEAVES IN THE BOTTOM OF AN
EMPTIED CUP. THIS IS DONE WITH CONSIDERABLE AIRS
AND CEREMONY.

Submitter comment: THIS PROVIDED SOME INTERESTING STORIES IF NOTHING
ELSE.
THIS CLASSIFICATION RATHER THAN P870 BECAUSE THERE
IS NO BELIEF INVOLVED AND THE IMPORTANT POINT IS THE
CUSTOM, NOT THE PREDICTION.
